Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth


I thought I hated Vivaldi, the Four Seasons especially, but then I heard an absolutely sublime recording.... sadly I don't remember who the composer or orchestra was.

Calling certain music "classical" insults all other forms of music, all periods and artist over the centuries that are just as much masters of their craft, but not from certain parts of Europe.  But I think that was the original intent.

The "Classical period" at least takes some of the insult away.

Artist always try to make a name for themselves by coming up with "their" version of certain pieces.  Hit and miss at best.

There are so many versions of Vivaldi's four seasons that I can't keep track.  Would be nice to see a "top ten list".
