of the Week: Charles Gounod
(1818-93). Charles Gounod 's precocious talents were wide-ranging, and evolved into a complex personality of variable health and considerable charm, described by Fanny Mendelssohn as "hyper-romantic and passionate". This week Donald Macleod explores the life of the man whom Ravel was to call "the true founder of French song".
