Composer of the Week - Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (1671-1750/51) - Episode 2

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Venetian composer Tomas Albinoni. He examines the composer's elusive operatic output - elusive because of more than 50 operas composed by him, only three have survived intact. Donald also considers the practicalities of staging opera in the early 18th century and speculates about Albinoni's relationship with his younger contemporary Vivaldi.
