In a few words:

I first listened to this album back in 2003, when one night I was listening to a radio show. The radio producer played all the "Winter" part. It was enough! I was so astonished with what I heard that the next day I went to a music shop and bought the album. From the title, as you might think, the album contains the famous Vivaldi composition as it was performed by Uli and the Sky Orchestra. The performance is similar to the original composition but instead of "first violin" we hear the sky guitar. Furthermore, Uli added another part, the "Metamorphosis", which is a composition influenced by Vivaldi. There are also some narrative parts between the various "seasons". If you liked the original composition you will definitely enjoy this one!
