Now Hear This Vivaldi

Posted on by



I had taped this 4 part series last Sept but didn't get a chance to watch any of it until this afternoon-I found it quite enjoyable-learned something about music but the settings were lovely too and even a few restaurants and food! It finished with an aria from Vivaldi's opera Farnace-gelido in ogne vene sung by 'one of Italy's best sopranos, Maria Luigia Borsi.'
