Skullduggery chez Maurice Ravel

[Nick Armstrong]

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
