The entertainment genre found on this disc is known as BackGround Video or BGV. BGV's overlay beautiful video footage with popular categories of music, and completely without narrative. The result is a far more entertaining, eloquent, and soothing way to immerse oneself in the joy of good music than by simply staring at an artist or orchestra on a stage. This particular series from Naxos pairs classic European venues with popular works of classical music.

From the back cover:

"(the series) invites you on a journey into sound, a journey in which the visual perfectly complements the musical. You will discover a powerful link between landscapes and the rhythms articulated through those great composers who were inspired by them. Nowhere, perhaps, is this relationship more strongly realised than in the castles, museums, churches and cathedrals of Europe, each commemorating traditions of musical patronage and worship which have shaped civilisation throughout the ages."
