    Skullduggery chez Maurice Ravel

    Strange things are afoot at Le Belvédère in Montfort-L'Amaury, at Maurice Ravel's old house (now museum): this article has just appeared in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...y-france-music (French-readers can click on the link in the article to the piece in Le Figaro published on Friday).

    Charles Dutoit and Martha Argerich being escorted out of the place by the police was just one of the recent untoward events.

    Personally infuriating as I was supposed to be making a first and long-awaited visit in a couple of weeks
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

    Surely as long as you don't mention your links to the infamous Dutoit-Argerich gang you'll be OK.

          A further article on this, in tomorrow's Le Monde - already online for French readers / GoogleTranslate adepts (but only partially-available to non-subscribers like me...): http://www.lemonde.fr/musiques/artic...1_1654986.html
