Composer of the Week

Orlande de Lassus (1532? - 1594)

Part Two

Lassus was an extraordinarily well-travelled composer. He was born in Mons in Belgium, and subsequently visited Fontainebleu, Mantua, Milan, Naples, Florence, Rome, possibly England, Antwerp, before settling for the last 30 years of his life in Munich.

Donald Macleod and Jeremy Summerly discuss the extent of Lassus' travels, and his remarkable skill with language, something Lassus exploited in his career.

Composer of the Week

Mozart the Keyboard Player

Part Three

Nothing lasts for ever, not even for Mozart. As 1784 turned to 1785, and as his astonishingly successful year of subscription concerts faded into the memory, Mozart's career took what the Viennese public saw as a couple of faltering steps. Donald Macleod weighs up the evidence.
