1945 - 55
Donald Macleod is joined for the last time by the jazz trumpeter, composer and Honegger devotee, Guy Barker to discuss the life and works of Arthur Honegger.
At the end of the Second World War, Honegger was able to resume a hectic schedule of concerts. The sudden onset of ill health slowed his pace of life considerably and this - combined with the experience of living through the war - gave him a rather pessimistic outlook. Donald Macleod is joined for the last time by the jazz trumpeter, composer and Honegger devotee, Guy Barker.
