  John Amis Composer Portraits

  Five programmes

  (5) Michael Tippett

  Few British composers have responded as deeply to world events as Sir Michael Tippett. His oratorio, A Child of our Time, was an impassioned protest against the persecution and tyranny he saw happening throughout the world in 1939, at the onset of World War II. In this last programme, John Amis looks in particular at the music Tippett wrote from this time up to the early 80s (RNZ)
