For director Klaas Rusticus the musical experience alone of "The Seasons" conducted by Helmuth Rilling on television seemed not sufficient to fire the imagination of the music-loving viewer, and therefore he sparingly and discreetly added coordinated pictorial material of yet virgin nature as a visual support, in no way diverting from text or music but rather complementing both. Thus he has treaded new paths in the presentation of musical masterpieces, making them an even more impressive and extraordinary experience only to be had on television.
