This week Donald Macleod explores the life and works of Cesar Franck.

Cesar Franck lived during the revolution and social upheaval that was reshaping 19th-century Europe. He was born in Liege eight years before the emergence of Belgium as a nation. Once resident in Paris he witnessed the 1848 revolution, the Franco-Prussian War, including the Siege of Paris, and artistically and socially saw the emergence of the Third Republic. Donald Macleod begins his survey by unravelling the confusions which surround Franck's nationality.
