Elisabeth Lutyens (1906-83)

Part Two

Donald Macleod turns his attention to matters of the heart, and the impact which Lutyens' two marriages had on her life and career. There's also a rare chance to hear archive footage of a propaganda score she wrote to support the war effort, plus more music recorded specially for the programme by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Duration:
