Meer over het boek

The majestic contours of the famous mansions of the late Italian Renaissance rise above the serene Venetian hillscape. They represent the wealth of powerful Venetians in the past. A Venetian Concert celebrates an era of undying beauty and the diversity of these creative monuments with fascinating images by acclaimed architectural photographers Paolo Marton, Florian Monheim, and many others. Music Four CDs span the divide between brash, worldly songs and the art of the madrigal, and sensitive chamber music by Lorenzo Ghielmi, the Ensemble del Riccio, and the Orlando di Lasso Ensemble.
