As a composer he had been almost completely forgotten. The HMV catalogue for 1952-3 lists a single concerto recording (arranged by Bach); 10 years earlier and there's a concerto and a sonata available on Columbia, and at HMV that same Bach arrangement (listed under Bach).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\" align=\"left\"\u003eIn 1942 a rather heavily edited (read \"modified\") version of the\u003cem\u003e Four Seasons \u003c\/em\u003ewas recorded for the first time by Bernardino Molinari, and a second, rather more accurate version emerged in the USA in 1948. Yet the work was still relatively unknown, and by the time this Decca recording was made in 1951 there were no others available in the UK catalogue. It was a further four years before anyone looked at it again the the UK, but by then the momentum was building and the Four Seasons phemonemon had begun. By 1957 you could choose from 6 recordings, by 1963 there were 11.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"body\"\u003eAnd yet this 1951 recording was still regarded by many as the best of the early interpretations.
