If you're not a fan of classical music, chances are you're still familiar with Antonio Vivaldi's masterpiece - The Four Seasons.  But even those who recognize it immediately, might not know the fascinating details that inspired each movement of these Italian concertos. 

Jeannette Sorrell, director of Cleveland's Baroque Orchestra - Apollo's Fire - has a passion for sharing the stories behind this music, which she did recently with ideastream's Bill O'Connell. 

Listen to story above.
