巴洛克时代义大利作曲家韦瓦第出生於一六七八年三月四日，卒於一七四一年七月二十八日，享寿六十三岁。他生前有「红髮神父」的腻称，因為他拥有一头红髮，而且是少数世俗活动很繁忙的神父作曲家。韦瓦第出生在威尼斯，毕生的音乐活动也都集中在威尼斯，不过，在他的时代，他的名声早就远达荷兰、英国和德国，不只限於威尼斯。
在十八世纪初的四十年间，韦瓦第可以说是欧洲最知名的作曲家，连远在德国的巴哈都熟悉他的作品，经常以他的作品為模仿的对象，视其為时代流行趋势的代表。韦瓦第是小提琴名家，因此很多作品都是為小提琴创作，当时他也指导孤女院的院生之乐团演出，很多作品就是由这个乐团发表，也是特别為她们所创作。可惜的是，晚年韦瓦第因為和查尔斯六世国王会晤，深受赏识，而决定搬到维也纳发展，在那裡一展他的作曲身手。没想到在维也纳定居后不久，查尔斯六世忽然驾崩，韦瓦第顿失依靠，作品无人发表，收入也中断，就这样潦倒以终，死时身无分文。
这套录音是选自Philips和Decca旗下重要的韦瓦第录音，其中义大利音乐家合奏团（I Musici）更是引领全球韦瓦第研究和演出的第一把交椅，他们长期都為Philips录音，因此这套录音可以说是具有最具代表性的选曲。片中所选的乐曲均採纳全曲，将每一首协奏曲的三乐章都完整收录，CD1中收录的是阿卡多带领拿坡里独奏家合奏团灌录的「四季」全曲，CD4则是完整的长笛协奏曲录音，由义大利音乐家合奏团和长笛家Gazzelloni合作，CD5则全部收录大提琴协奏曲，由大提琴家席夫担任独奏，最后一片则是新发现的「光荣讚」和「圣母悼歌」，也都是全曲收录。
