Faur茅: Passions Within
Donald Macleod is joined by Jessica Duchen to find out how Faure found himself among the practitioners of palmistry and ventriloquism at a village fete in the Vale of Glamorgan.
The organisers of a village f锚te in the Vale of Glamorgan strike lucky with a star guest organist, none other than Faur茅 himself. Donald Macleod is joined by the composer's English biographer, Jessica Duchen, to find out how the Frenchman found himself amongst the practitioners of palmistry and ventriloquism at this quaintly British extravaganza.
