Much-admired wine critic and broadcaster Oz Clarke joins Renaissance/Baroque specialists Armonico Consort for a highly entertaining evening investigating the deliciously colourful links between wine and music. Join them with a glass in hand, for this unique pairing of raconteur wit and sparkling performances.
The music is served with three country-specific glassfuls that Oz introduces: an English ale with Purcell, a German Riesling with Bach and Handel, and after some Monteverdi and Vivaldi, a Chilean Cabernet with the most upbeat South American Baroque dance music.
