  John Amis Composer Portraits

  We pay tribute to the BBC broadcasting personality who died last year, aged 91, with this series made in 1981 and recently re-mastered. Known to many through the My Music panel game, John Amis visited this country several times and recorded programmes for Radio New Zealand on two occasions. His experience working with and interviewing hundreds of musicians and composers made him a witty contributor, admired for his phenomenal musical knowledge and his ability to drop into the programme an appropriate and often hilarious personal anecdote whenever called upon. While the spoken content is contemporary to the 1980s, Amis's personal associations with each of the composers make his comments still very relevant thirty years later.

  Five programmes

  (2) Igor Stravinsky

  Considered the world's greatest living composer at the time, Stravinsky came to New Zealand a little over 50 years ago and conducted our National Orchestra in two memorable performances, including music from The Firebird (RNZ)
