Wine Classics Series - Chardonnay Classics

Chardonnay Classics

After surveying music lovers, we were surpirsed to learn that almost everyone agreed on which wine should go with which composition. Respighi's Fountains of Rome most certainly calls for a glass of bubbly, while Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata deserves a rich Cabernet. We created this series of 30 minute musical digital bundles to give the casual classical music listener a taste of some of our well known favorites as well as an introduction to some lesser known works.

Jacqueline Blancard, piano

Rosamunde, Op. 27 — Ballet Music #2
