Sara Mohr-Pietsch is our guide on a musical journey towards the ballet suite Callirho毛 by the French composer C茅cile Chaminade. Though she was celebrated internationally n her time - one of her pieces was chosen o be played at Queen Victoria's funeral - her music has been neglected since. Pointing the way we hear French dance music from the court at Versailles to the Folies Berg猫re; pieces by Chaminade's contemporaries Erik Satie and Claude Debussy; and Venus-inspired music from Gustav Holst and Miles Davis.
