It’s been called the City of Light and the City of Love.
But given the number of composers who found inspiration there, it could just as easily be called the City of Music.
In this hour, a celebration of Paris with the help of Jacques Offenbach, Frederick Delius, Jacques Ibert, Franz Lehar, George Gershwin, and more.
