Having decided to move to Italy, Henze described the day he drove south and crossed the frontier as the happiest day of his life. Donald Macleod explores Henze's first taste of Italy, and is joined by the composer to discuss the way his new-found expressive richness and lyricism was received by the avant garde at Darmstadt.
