"Music and secrets" Polovtsov Mansion. Part 1

"Music and Secrets" is a fascinating journey into the era when the works of great Russian composers were played in the palace halls of St. Petersburg. The northern capital keeps memories of balls, luxurious festivities, dinner parties and musical evenings, where prominent people of the 19th century shone. As part of the television project, architecture and music once again organically complement each other, resurrecting the spirit of the romantic century. Honored Artist of Russia, Artistic Director of the International Music Festival "Palaces of St. Petersburg" - Maria Safaryants tells about the history of creation of works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninov and others.

Polovtsov Mansion (Architect's House). The rich interior decoration of Polovtsov's house combines the spirit of the Italian Renaissance and the sophistication of the Baroque style. It breathes with scent of Italy, and the music of Neapolitan composers sounds in the halls generously decorated with gilding. The heroes of this issue are Alessandro Scarlatti and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi.
