Travel back in time to meet Antonio Vivaldi by following Minime, a charming little mouse who loves cheese and music! It is certainly the coldest day of winter to walk through the streets of Venice in search of the orphanage where little Ambrosina sleeps. She has just lost a baby tooth and hopes to find a coin under her pillow when she wakes up. In this old building which also houses a music school under the direction of the grand master Antonio Vivaldi, the mission is dangerous and Minime must be extra careful to avoid a cat always looking for its next meal. Fortunately, the tomcat is also a music lover!
The narrated tale, followed by some biographical notes, includes the recordings "Concerto for violin and orchestra Op.8 n°4, Winter, 1st movement" and "Concerto for violin and orchestra Op. 8 n°4, Winter , 2nd movement”.
