Question:
What is the name of a song in Simon Schama's Power of Art?
It was used in the soundtrack for yesterday's episode(US) on Jacques-Louis David and I am pretty sure the singer was a contralto.
many thanks
Answers:
One he played was from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro", the duet with Susanna and the Contessa, "Che soave zeffiretto.."(Act 3)
This is well known because of it's genius. It fit well into Schama's story because the women are hatching a plot against the count.
...hope this helps.....
