Donald Macleod turns his attention to music Frank Martin wrote during World War II focussing on the works Der Cornet and In Terra Pax.
Donald Macleod turns his attention to music Frank Martin wrote during World War II. Talking to Martin's widow, Maria, he discusses the very different soundscapes of Der Cornet and In Terra Pax. The former paints a bleak portrait of life as a soldier, the latter a joyous celebration of the end of the war.
