Seasons — Live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
On April 10, 2011, four extraordinary guitarists premiered a new composition by Anthony Wilson. Commissioned by master guitar maker John Monteleone, the piece showcases his quartet of instruments called The Four Seasons. Documented here in music, film, and photography is the story of a collaboration between two friends – craftsman and musician – and the realization of a shared dream. The featured guitarists are legends-in-the-making: Anthony Wilson, Julian Lage, Steve Cardenas, and Chico Pinheiro.
The concert contains Anthony Wilson’s four-part suite Seasons: A Song Cycle For Guitar Quartet, solo pieces by each guitarist, and a version of Joni Mitchell’s classic The Circle Game, again arranged for the quartet by Anthony Wilson. The deluxe two-disc package features an audio CD of the entire April 10th concert, as well as a DVD containing a 50-minute documentary film and a photographic slideshow tracking the history of this exciting collaborative project from inception to premiere.
