Hannah French finds out about recent research into comedy in 17th-century French opera and hears from Clare Norburn’s about her new play ‘Purcell, the Musical’, which brings some of the composer’s best-loved works onto the stage. She also looks ahead to early music featured in this summer’s �鶹�� Proms, as well as exploring a selection of new recordings.
