I thought it was kind of shameful that we didn't have a thread devoted to one of the must enduring Baroque composers. We get close with threads about individual pieces, but one only has a single reply, and the second is pretty ridiculous (I encourage bored members to seek it out).
So what are your thoughts on the guy? I'm familiar with the Four Seasons, which I've played, as well as the a minor Violin Concerto and the Concerto for Oboe and Violin, and am underway to explore a couple more of the over 500 concertos. Overall I'd say well written music that can give me a headache if I'm not in the right mood (to much consonance for me!).
