Yo, Tony V., Happy B-Day!

[ellyssian]

Nebs started it, but where he went in a more traditional direction, violins and sonnets and all, I went with something completely different... because we all know that this would be how the Big V would write it if he was around today (although he'd be playing it with his Italian power metal band, where these performances are by At Vance, a German power metal band... =)

Up first, because we're there, is Winter, from 2005's Chained:

Then we move on to Spring, from 2002's Only Human:

And for this three-season tour (they haven't, to my knowledge, released a performance of Autumn yet), we have Summer, from their 1999 debut album, No Escape:

If you insist on something more traditional, the best performance of these works that I've come across would easily be Le Quattro Stagioni Op 8 Nos 1-4, performed by Trevor Pinnock and The English Concert with Simon Standage ripping it up on the lead violin.
