Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra presents a magical journey to the meeting places of baroque art and music – visit five European homes where exquisite works by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and Marais are played against a backdrop of gorgeous paintings by Vermeer, Canaletto and Watteau. Beautifully filmed in Toronto, at the Handel House in London UK and in the gondolas, historic buildings and cafés of Venice, Italy. This is a totally memorized performance by the virtuoso players of Tafelmusik. DVD includes a bonus track interview with Handel House Director Sarah Baldwell. A CD soundtrack is included.
