Peter Ackroyd's Venice

The City as Music (1x3)

Data di messa in onda: Set 20, 2009

Peter tells the story of Venetian music, from the songs of women on the seashore waiting for their fishermen to come home, to gondoliers singing the poetry of Tasso, to the sacred music of Antonio Vivaldi. He looks at how music has woven itself into the fabric of the city, and how Venice’s musical awakening really came about as the expansion of its empire drew to a close.
