Editorial reviews
Excerpted from the Audie-nominated production Famous Composers, this profile of the baroque master Antonio Vivaldi combines narration, reenactments, and musical selections to paint an all-encompassing portrait sure to be enjoyed by fans of all ages. Esteemed musicologist Darren Henley, OBE, provides the text, and noted conductor Marin Alsop brings a lively, inviting tone to her narration that perfectly suits the personality and musical style of the Venetian violin virtuoso, Catholic priest, and composer of sonatas, symphonies, operas and concerti, including his masterful Four Seasons.

Don't need to know the disagreeable
Over all I really like this series. I enjoy it as do my grandchildren.
I would prefer that the disagreeable aspects of a composer not be revealed in too much detail.
For instance it is fine to mention that Vivaldi was mischievous and that he had problems with authority.
I don't think that children need to learn that he may violated his priestly commitment. There is plenty of time to learn about those things if necessary, when they get older.
