Saint-Saens' Years at the Madeleine
3: "/ didn't ask for a church, I asked for a temple. The Madeleine was conceived by Napoleon as a tribute to his grand army, a link between church and state. How much did this rub off on its music? Presented by Richard Langham Smith in conversation with musicologist Jean-Michael Nectoux and Francois-
Henri Houbart , organist at the Madeleine.
