synopsis
The country of Austria simultaneously claims some of the world's most breathtaking scenery and some of history's most legendary composers, including, of course, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Those two elements come together in this ambience-themed release, which provides an on-camera tour of locales both historically and contemporaneously relevant to the country - from the old imperial country residence at Laxenburg and the historic city of Salzburg to the ultra-modern architecture of Fritz Stowasser - while Mozart's compositions play on the soundtrack.
