Composer of the Week

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)

Part Four

Donald Macleod traces the wildly varying fortunes of Vivaldi in his role as impresario. Though the composer's eye to the main chance was always wide open when it came to making money, it was largely in the cut-throat arena of opera production that he chose to concentrate his entrepreneurial spirit.
