Leaving Home: Orchestral Music in the 20th Century - Part 4: 3 Journeys Through Dark Landscapes

Sir Simon Rattle examines the effect of brutal political regimes on the music of three great composers. Bela Bartok lived through the German occupation of Hungary; Shostakovich lived in totalitarian Soviet Russia and Lutoslawski lived in the Soviet-controlled state of Poland. Each found a way to develop their own powerfully original musical language.
