| The Musical World of Giacomo Casanova | 19:30 |
Timothy West & Sophie Yates
The reputation of Casanova was immortalised in his own 12 volumes of spicy memoirs.
These also reveal him to be a far more complex character than legend would suggest: soldier, priest, gambler, alchemist and violinist. He also knew many of late 18th-century Europe's most influential people, including its finest composers.
Actor Timothy West's readings from the memoirs are complemented with music by Vivaldi, Couperin, Rameau & Handel.
