 Classical Notes - Classical Classics - Vivaldi's Four Seasons, By Peter Gutmann
Each of the four concertos is prefaced by a sonnet (presumably written by the composer) full of allusions ripe for sonic depiction.
But the stylistic differences are subtle, and rather than degenerate into a battle of disparate egos, all four blend their personalities into an urbane and satisfying account of secure and confident musicanship that radiates elegance at every turn.
For their Four Seasons, they use a set of instrumental parts made in Rome in 1740, in which the different harmonies, textures, transpositions and articulation possibly reflect Vivaldi's actual performance practices more accurately than the simplified published version we have come to regard as definitive.

 Gang of Four rerecords their own songs. - By Simon Reynolds - Slate Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The tale has a grotesque psychological twist when the writer's lover discovers that the manuscript the writer has been working on is actually a painstakingly composed, word-for-word repeat of the debut.
Despite their Maoism-referencing moniker, Gang of Four were never card-carrying Communists (although early on they did operate as a collective, paying their roadies the same wage as the musicians).
As it happens, like those Soviet commissars reborn as industrial barons in the '90s, most of Gang of Four "crossed over into enterprise" (as their post-punk fellow traveler John Lydon once sang it) after the group disintegrated and have thrived in the business world.
