Vivaldi's Town Drunk by David Srebnik For those among us who question the existence of humor, or levity of any kind in classical music, violinist Joshua Bell offers this piece of evidence: the "Autumn" Concerto from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi.

Listen to Joshua Bell by clicking next to "Listen" above.

Autumn is the third of the four violin concertos, and Joshua Bell says it's the most rustic and "spirited" of the violin concertos that make up Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

Joshua Bell just recorded Vivaldi's Four Seasons. For more information about the recording and the fantastic story of Joshua Bell's "stolen" violin, go to his website.
