The Places
Scenes of Provence, with its ancient Roman remains and ancestral traditions, mingIe with the coast of the Côte d’Azur and the great nature reserve of Camargue, land of the wild bulls and horses.
The Music
MusicaIly, Chopin and Puccini may seem outsiders in a gathering of French musicians. The former, however, was the son of an émigré French father and spent the greater part of his life in Paris, whiIe Puccini finds a pIace here with his transformation of Manon Lescaut into an immensely moving opera. Other composers refIect a French tradition ranging from BerIioz to Ravel. |
