地を這うような執筆作業。落とし穴もあるし地雷も埋まっているので片時も気が抜けない。伴奏音楽はＢＢＣモンテヴェルディの続き。
Composer of the Week
Claudio Monteverdi
Episode 3
Music had always been secondary to drama in the court theatre at
Mantua and across Europe, but Monteverdi was working towards a
revolutionary new form called opera, that would set the template
for the next four hundred years. Presented by Donald Macleod.

Composer of the Week
Claudio Monteverdi
Episode 4
A royal wedding gives Monteverdi and the whole court at Mantua
a chance to dazzle, but will the strain prove too much for the
beleaguered composer? Presented by Donald Macleod.

この「
西風が戻り Zefiro torna」はジョージ・マチューナス鍾愛の曲だったと記憶する。ジョナス・メカスのマチューナス追悼映画が同じ題名をもつのはその故だろう。
