With musical excerpts and sumptuous illustrations, this lecture brings Vienna in its heyday to life.
Mozart, Haydn, Gluck, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Mahler, Bruckner, Schoenberg – each of these musical geniuses lived and worked in Vienna. The city’s proximity to nature, its politics and its burgeoning middle classes were all factors in its cultural blossoming, but most important was its location at the heart of the Habsburg Empire and the "wine, women and song" philosophy of the Viennese. With musical excerpts and sumptuous illustrations, this lecture brings Vienna in its heyday to life.
