This uniquely cross-sectional approach to culture combines great art with great music, and examines the connections between the two. Each piece of music from the carefully chosen selection takes on a new dimension and provides a musical context to the work of leading painters and sculptors. This fascinating series broadens our view of the music itself. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is our prototype for the universal genius: painter, architect, military engineer, and anatomist, his far-ranging scientific curiosity placed him centuries ahead of his time. On this audio, the world of da Vinci is given a musical perspective with a carefully chosen selection of pieces by the finest composers of the day. In the booklet, Hugh Griffith provides explanatory notes on his life and musical environment.
