Ravel's house at Montfort l'Amaury

Thursday 23 March 2006 20:25-20:45 (Radio 3)

In April 1921 at the age of 41, Maurice Ravel purchased his first and only house; a picturesque and idiosyncratic building called Le Belvédère, about 30 kilometres from Paris. Ravel's delightful and unusual house has now become the Musée Ravel. Artur Pizarro journeys through the house, endeavouring to find out more about the man and his music.
