BBC Proms Chamber Music The sinuous and seductive world of French song is a speciality of the superlative American mezzo-soprano Susan Graham (see also Prom 19) and her duo partner Malcolm Martineau, who likens the delights on offer to a menu gourmand. And indeed there is a wide variety of musical dishes here, scanning a century of mélodies françaises and taking in the themes of night and nature, love and childhood, and culminating in Poulenc's bittersweet melodrama of defiance and regret. There will be no interval
