BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert

Louise Fryer presents a rare chance to hear Vincent d'Indy's opera L'etranger.

Louise Fryer presents a rare chance to hear Vincent d'Indy's opera L'etranger. Plus Debussy: Danse sacree et profane. Delius: Paris, the song of a great city.

Today's Opera Matinee is a rare chance to hear Vincent d'Indy's L'Etranger, the story of the doomed love between an outsider in a small fishing village and the fiancee of one of its inhabitants. And the French theme concludes with Debussy's Danse sacree et profane, and Delius's tribute to the capital city.

Presented by Louise Fryer.
