I'm a violinist myself and can't believe how well he manages to play it. I don't think it's being produced anymore, though... I looked it up and found it used on Amazon.

On BIS I think #275 Drottningholm Baroque's 4 Seasons. A tiny tad faster than most but true Hi Def recording and performance.

It was put out by Reference Recordings, RR-77CD, and can be played back in HDCD, which is how I listen to it. It has a selection of Vivaldi concertos, but no Four Seasons. Worth a listen.
