So, who inspired whom? For this exciting confrontation, the Royal Opera Orchestra will be conducted by the virtuoso Andrès Gabetta, from his 1727 Venetian Pietro Guarneri violin, an exact contemporary of these Eight Seasons! In any case, Guido's Seasons are contemporary with Vivaldi's famous Seasons, perhaps a little earlier. The publication of Guido's Seasons in Versailles does not bear a date, but is thought to date from the period 1725-1733. Each of these "musical entertainments" had about ten movements, and even if it is called a concerto, it also resembles a French suite: the music is a clever mixture of Italian and French.

To a great extent, Guido remains a mysterious musician, due to a lack of archives.

What if the Antonio Vivaldi’s famous Four Seasons (1678-1741), published in Amsterdam in 1725 and performed in Paris at the Concert Spirituel in 1728, had been preceded by those of Giovanni Antonio Guido (1675-1729), star violinist of Parisian orchestras of the maturity of Louis XIV, and Master of Music of the Regent Philippe D'Orléans, published in Versailles? The two works are finally presented in the same programme in spite of their differences: the well-known virtuosity of Vivaldi's work contrasts with the mixture of French good taste and Italian features of Guido's Seasons before the very descriptive poem illustrated by Vivaldi's music with remarkable naturalism, Guido paid homage to each season, with a display of affects worthy of the French court.
