In this concert, the second in Graham Johnson's French Song Series at the Wigmore, the pursuits of the idle rich, so ardently cultivated by French aristocrats in the decades before the Revolution, are charted in song. Included are some from Debussy's youthful first book of Fêtes galantes, erotically charged settings of verse by Paul Verlaine, whose years in England, chiefly spent as a school-teacher in Lincolnshire, were prefaced by a spell in prison following his drunken attempt to shoot fellow author and libertine Arthur Rimbaud!

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
