Composer of the Week

Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960)

Part One

The Hungarian composer Ernst von Dohnányi was, for the first half of the 20th Century, the driving force behind the musical life of Hungary. But thanks to a chain of events that no-one could have foreseen, he had to flee his native country, never to return. Nowadays he is best known for two works - the witty Variations on a Nursery Theme and the exuberant Serenade for String Trio.

Donald Macleod introduces recordings of both pieces, the Variations reflecting Dohnányi's dual role as composer and pianist, in a recording made in 1956.
