Copiously illustrated by excerpts from Verdi's music, this programme tells how the composer rose from humble origins to become the unrivalled master of Italian opera. Living in the time of Italian unification, his music and his life became entwined with politics and patriotism and his melodies were taken up as battle cries in the Italian fight against foreign domination. This programme explores the fertility of his musical imagination and his deep but unconventional religious faith.

Why I Recommend Audible by Alan Twigg

Audible (an Amazon.com company) is the world's leading online audio-book provider. Audible is responsible for supplying audio content to Apple's ITunes service. I have been listening, enjoying and creating audio books for many years. With the arrival of the internet and portable digital devices, audio-books began to become availalbe for download.

Having tried most of the other download services myself, I finally came to the conclusion that Audible offers the best and most reliable service. Whether you are using an IPod, IPhone, mobile phone, Dune or one of the many other MP3 players availalbe, Audilbe makes downloading great quality audio content easy and umcomplicated.


In addition to this, Audible also boasts the most comprehensive collection of audio books anywhere. Depending on the promotion currently on offer, you can download any audiobook of your choice for free (including almost certainly the title on this page, too). This link will take you to Audible...
