Item Description
A wonderful book and two CDs, for those kids who are ready for more in-depth information about classical musicians.
Book - Lives of Musicians: Good Times, Bad Times (and What the Neighbors Thought)
It's no secret that Beethoven went deaf, that Mozart had constant money problems, and that Gilbert and Sullivan wrote musicals. But what were these people—and other famous musicians—really like? What did they eat? What did they wear? How did they spend their time? And—possibly most interesting of all—what did their neighbors think?
Discover the fascinating and often humorous stories of twenty famous musicians—people of all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and lifestyles, from various countries and historical periods. Beginning with Vivaldi and ending with Woodie Guthrie, Lives of the Musicians brings musical history to life!
CD - Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery
In this touching tale, a gifted young violinist is sent to study music at the Pietà orphanage in Venice with the great composer Antonio Vivaldi. It's Carnival time, magic is in the air and mystery unfolds as Katarina enlists Giovanni, the gondolier, to help in her search to discover her origins. In a climactic scene, a masked stranger reunites Katarina with her family and she must make an important choice between staying with her music at the Pietà and entering the world.
More than 24 excerpts from Vivaldi's most popular and important works have been freshly recorded.
CD - Tchaikovsky Discovers America
Through an unconventional mix of classical music and exciting storytelling, listeners meet Russian composer Tchaikovsky. Almost two dozen excerpts of his most stirring music serve as an effective backdrop for the adventurous journeys of Tchaikovsky and his young new friends.
