Charles Vllllers Stanford
The Travelling Companion
Although chiefly known as a teacher and a composer of church music, Stanford completed ten operas, of which The Travelling Companion, written in 1916, is the last and most refined. It reflects the composer's masterly control of orchestral colour
- and its storyline is somewhere between
Turandot and Pilgrim's Progress. Presented by Roderic Dunnett.
