The first four concertos are the highlights here (commonly recorded individually as "The Four Seasons" - you may have heard of them), but even the less famous material has a sense of dynamism even more prevalent than in any other Vivaldi collection. Fiery, passionate, and as prototypically baroque as you can get.

1725. Most popular of all time and for quite apparent reason. No god stuff, no technical doohickeying. When travelling through the western canon, this is the kind of thing you pass by that makes you do a double take, because it approaches you in a sea of relatively tame Bach, Corelli and Handel. Find a recording that plays it fast.

This is the set of concertos from which "The Four Seasons" first appeared (it comprises the first four concertos in this sequence). There are a couple of (relative) duds afterwards, but most of the other concertos are of comparable quality to the first four, so if you can dedicate time to listen to the full set of 12, it is a worthwhile experience.
