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. The influence of Raphael (1483-1520) has perhaps exceeded that of any other painter in history. For centuries his works were revered as perfect models of grace and harmony, to the point where every creator of a kitsch madonna felt obliged to plunder his manner and techniques. On this audio, the world of Raphael is given a musical perspective with a carefully chosen selection of pieces by the finest composers of his time. In the booklet, Hugh Griffith provides explanatory notes on his life and musical environment.
