Overview
Seismic change rocked Paris out of its belle époquecomplacency during the First World War, a processprefigured by the Symbolist imagery present in thepoetry of Guillaume Apollinaire and the long-livedPaul Fort.
Roderick Williams and Roger Vignolesexplore the febrile world of twentieth-centuryFrench art-song, from the sublime eroticism of theelderly Fauré’s Mirages to the boulevard style ofPoulenc’s Parisiana.
