Fancy a trip to the Carnival of Venice, or better to the Roman Festivals? Have a dance in Bergamo or Naples? Or just simply return to Sorrento for good? All around Italy with us and composers who were inspired by its nature, life and beauty!
“…today’s listeners may have the impression that Tchaikovsky is showing them photos from his holiday. In his composition, trumpets from the barracks of the Italian carabinieri can be heard, the echo of a street band and the melody of a folk song praising the beauty of Tuscan girls are heard. An energetic tarantella will bring the composition to the south of Italy. As if the composer wrote the soundtrack to a movie about Italy. About a country where you don’t need to go to the Vatican temples or the palaces in Florence to find beauty. You just need to walk through the streets of cities and the countryside and take a good look around you.”
