Père-Lachaise (5)
Père-Lachaise - once more
Perhaps you still remember that, last winter, we dedicated the four last weeks of the off-(cruising)season to the world famous cemetary Père-Lachaise in Paris. The subjects have been: various, artists, writers and painters. Then the cruising season started and we never found the time for the last, perhaps best, subject, being composers. At long last, today's the day! As the telly is on because of the Olympics there is not enough time for 'own' research, so this time we give you a link to the relevant page on Wikipedia - English version. You'll find also a link to YouTube. Our advice: try them all - especially the YouTube-links. Enjoy!
