{"product_id":"art-music-raphael-music-of-his-time","title":"Art \u0026 Music: Raphael - Music of His Time","description":"This uniquely cross-sectional approach to culture combines great art with great music, and examines the connections between the two. Each piece of music from the carefully chosen selection takes on a new dimension and provides a musical context to the work of leading painters and sculptors. This fascinating series, with a color booklet including a chronology of the principal artistic and political developments of the period, broadens our view of the music itself.   The influence of Raphael (1483-1520) has perhaps exceeded that of any other painter in history. For centuries his works were revered as perfect models of grace and harmony, to the point where every creator of a kitsch Madonna felt obliged to plunder his manner and techniques. On this CD, the world of Raphael is given a musical perspective with a carefully chosen selection of pieces by the finest composers of his time. Inside, Hugh Griffith provides explanatory notes on his life and musical environment. 1 CD with full-color, illustrated, explanatory booklet.","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49606129778968,"sku":"636943811924","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/587583.jpg?v=1777588120","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/art-music-raphael-music-of-his-time","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
