the COLUMBIA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Brahms Variations on the St Anthony Chorale
Mozart Symphony No 40 (K 550)
PETER NICHOLS talks about the island of Sardinia and its most famous activity - kidnapping. This island, unlike Sicily, remained unspoilt and untouched by any invader for over 2,000 years. Romans, Bourbons and the fascists failed to make any impression on the inhabitants. They were either repelled by the mosquitoes or the predatory mountain shepherds.
Peter Nichols traces the history of banditry in the island from classical times to the attempts by the present Italian Government to eradicate kidnapping.
