Vivaldi unmasked

Description

A helter-skelter mix of documentary and music video, the film contextualises Vivaldi's life through The Four Seasons, the most recorded and popular classical music ever written. Yet until 50 years ago it was forgotten, and remarkably little is known about the man who wrote it. Presented by the dynamic young conductor Charles Hazlewood, the story of how Antonio Vivaldi's extraordinary life and work were rediscovered is one of the most intriguing musical detective investigations of our time.
