Elisabeth Lutyens (1906-83)
Part Three
The BBC was, for Lutyens, both a blessing and a source of frustration. Without it she would never have met some of her greatest allies, but it also brought a long-held suspicion that her work was not held in high regard by a number of key thinkers. Donald Macleod unravels her complex dealings with the corporation and also introduces one of the most significant works of her career, newly recorded for the programme by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
