Michael Oliver presents a week of programmes exploring the music of a man Dallapiccola described as "the greatest Italian musical personality since Verdi". Malipiero is better known for editing the works of Vivaldi and Monteverdi than for the amazing pieces which poured from his pen across seven decades, practically up to the day of his death at the age of 91. Today, Michael Oliver explores the gamut of Malipiero's early music, whose inspiration ranges from the comedies of fellow Venetian Carlo Goldoni to wild
Greek tragedy via poems of the moon. Producer David Gallagher
