Symphonies and Silence

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Peter Maxwell Davies at Large....
The composer, Peter Maxwell Davies, spent part of 1984 writing his Third Symphony which is given its world premiere by the BBC
Philharmonic Orchestra on Tuesday. But this was just one part of a hectic schedule of concerts, rehearsals, lectures and appearances at music festivals - including the St Magnus Festival which he started for his neighbours in Orkney where he lives in a remote croft. Tonight's programme accompanies him at some of these events - and follows him home.
