Constant Lambert (1905-1951) and Alan Rawsthorne (1905-1971)

Part Two

Tuesday 23 August 2005 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)

Repeated: Tuesday 30 August 2005 0:00-1:00 (Radio 3)

Donald Macleod continues his journey through the lives and works of these two composers who were both contemporaries and friends. He follows them along their different career paths. Constant Lambert had a meteoric start and was already established by the age of 22, but it took Alan Rawsthorne considerably longer to make his mark, not least because he began training as both a dentist and an architect first.
