Drinking in great classical music
“I don’t know how they ever got any work done. They drank like fishes!” Libby Purves talks to wine critic, broadcaster and writer Oz Clarke about the link between drink and the great classical composers. He has combined wine and song in Drink to Music - a festival tour with the Baroque ensemble, Armonico Consort. The show investigates the links between wine from around the world and the music of the Baroque from Bach, Purcell and Vivaldi to the dance music of South America.
First broadcast on Midweek, 11 May 2016.
