Attila
T1163817034
A rousing tale of plunder, passion and patriotism.
Attila races through a plot that cheerfully rewrites history to terrific musical effect. The action is tied together by thundering orchestral writing, massive patriotic crowd scenes and a gutsy sense of good versus evil. The last of these is personified by Attila himself, the rampaging barbarian who nevertheless achieves a surprising nobility.
