Donald Macleod presents a fantastical Berners ballet, featuring various strange characters

Donald Macleod introduces two Berners ballets - one devised with Gertrude Stein and the other a fantastical work with various bizarre characers.

In the mid 1920s, Lord Berners started to take painting much more seriously and composing fell by the wayside. But that was soon to change: with the advent of the Wall Street Crash Berners felt the need for a reliable source of income and returned to writing music.
Donald Macleod introduces Berners's next two ballets - one, devised in collaboration with the American writer Gertrude Stein about unrequited love, the other a fantastical work featuring a three-headed man, a three-legged juggler, a one-legged ballerina, and a man with six arms!

Donald Macleod explores the life and music of the eccentric British composer Lord Berners

Donald Macleod explores the life and music of the colourful and eccentric British composer Lord Berners. While he behaved as a very English gentleman, his compositions had a distinctive European slant
