Composer of the Week: Dohnanyi

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

4/5. Despite Dohnanyi's selfless dedication to the musical welfare of his country, events conspired against him. He ill-advisedly made a decision that was to give his enemies the ammunition they needed to vilify his name, and as a result he was accused of Nazi sympathies and branded a war criminal. Today
Donald Macleod introduces the work Dohnanyi wrote in the midst of this nightmarish turmoil - his Second Symphony.
Impromptu and Landler (Six Pieces, Op 41) Ernst von Dohnanyi (piano)
Symphony No 2 BBC Philharmonic, conductor Matthias Bamert
