Vienna. Episode 2 : empire, dynasty and dream / directed by Richard Rothschild Pearson, Dominic Ozanne ; produced by Richard Rothschild Pearson, Dominic Ozanne, Open University, British Broadcasting Corporation
This probing documentary explores a city that has been reshaped and redefined by history. Vienna's Roman origins and strategic geographical location have rendered it a witness to war, intrigue, deceit - and endless power struggles. It has become a city of two distinct halves. Home to the Roman Emperors and the target of Ottoman aggression - but also a place that has nurtured Gothic architecture and Baroque music - Vienna is a capital where conflict and culture have made their mark. Simon Sebag Montefiore guides us through the city's cobbled pavements in a quest to unlock its rich history. Simon follows in the footsteps of Napoleon and Hitler, Beethoven and Mozart, all of whom have shaped the streets of Vienna
