Overview

Classical Destinations introduces a new concept in travel and history on television, exploring Europe's most spectacular cities and landscapes while luxuriating in the great classical music composed within their precincts.

Learn about the lives of the master musicians, the cities they lived in, and how their work reflects the very same surroundings we see today.

Vivaldi's Venice, the Salzburg of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the fjords of Norway evoked in music by Edvard Grieg, and the Vienna that waltzed to Johann Strauss and more...all have never looked - or sounded - better.

Special Features:
    • Narrated by the celebrated British actor and music expert Simon Callow

Seeing the environment in which such beautiful music was born is fascinating, and the sound track is fabulous. What a great concept!
