L385 Lennox & Freda: Michael Berkeley, Carmen Callil & Tony Scotland

When Lennox Berkeley married Freda Bernstein in 1946, it seemed an improbable love story. And yet within ten years, he was a happier man and, alongside Benjamin Britten, one of the foremost composers of his time. Tony Scotland, author of Lennox & Freda, is joined by the couple’s son, Michael Berkeley, to reflect on their remarkable marriage and the music it inspired.

Chaired by Carmen Callil.
