Composer of the Week: Massenet

on BBC Radio 3

2: Communing with Comedy. It is not all heady perfumes and the rustle of silk petticoats in Massenet: he had a well-developed sense of comedy, of both the broad and the sly varieties, and he used it to leaven the sentiment and heavy-breathing drama of even his most serious works. Rodney Milnes introduces excerpts from Chérubin, Cendrillon and Thais.
