  Eight programmes

  (4) FRANK BRIDGE (1879-1941)

  Before the first World War, FRANK BRIDGE was content writing works in a late-Romantic idiom, but he couldn't reconcile that style with the horrors of war, so left it behind. His later works are edgier, expressing anger and bitterness. The public didn't like the change and BRIDGE remained known by many for his earlier and less substantial works. In this programme Michael Stewart asks: "Was BRIDGE'S real problem that he was out of step with his time and place?" (RNZ)
