| Summary |
Classic Widows features four extraordinary women who are championing the music of their late composer-husbands: Susana Walton, globetrotting widow of William Walton; Bertha Stevens, whose husband, a contemporary of Walton's, died in relative obscurity; Xenia Frankel, who was left £50,000 in debt on the death of her husband Benjamin; and Humphrey Searle's widow. The programme features specially chosen selections from all the composers' works, performed by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Richard Hickox |
