Composer of the Week: Massenet

3: Medieval Romance
The popularity of Manon and Werther, among others, has encouraged audiences to associate Massenet with operas set in the 18th century, but he set many more of his works in the Middle Ages - witness today's excerpts from Le
Jongleur de Notre Dame, Le Cid and Griselidis, the latter being a particularly touching family drama. Presented by Rodney Milnes.
