The Sunday Play: Over the Hills and Far Away

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by Martyn Wade.
The Australian-bom composer Percy Grainger
(1882-1961) was a unique personality. Strikingly handsome, a brilliant pianist, exhaustingly energetic, wildly eccentric and passionate about his music almost to the point of madness, he was much loved by all who knew him. This award-winning production.about his life is rebroadcast to celebrate
British Music Year.
