- Synopsis:
A musical tour of the sights of Paris, including the Château at Chantilly, the palace of Versailles and the Cathedral at Chartres, accompanied by the music of composers including Mozart, Verdi, Dubussy, Marais and Satie.
The Places
In addition to characteristic scenes from Paris, its buildings and its people, there is a glimpse of the Chateau of Chantilly, the magnificent palace of Versailles, and the Cathedra at Chartres.
The MusicThe music here included is largely associated with Paris, although not all by French composers. It includes a moment from a symphony that Mozart wrote in Paris in 1778 and excerpts from Verdi's opera La Traviata, set principally in the city. Other music ranges from that of the seventeenth-century French viol-player Marais to works by Debussy and the eccentric Erik Satie. - Studio:
