lies on the west side of Hradčanské náměstí, in the immediate vicinity of Prague Castle, just opposite the Castle's main entrance. The palace, designed by a gifted Burgundian Jean Baptiste Mathey, arose upon the foundations of a late Renaissance house between 1689-91 and is a perfect example of Early Baroque architecture. Its beautiful interiors provide an ideal backdrop for Vivaldi's atmospheric music, as performed by leading Czech artists.

These concertos poetically evoke the characteristics of each season of the year and in the greatest possible measure demonstrate Vivaldi's musical mastery.
