John Ogdon TV Programme [tonight fri 6th june]

Post by james »

BBC Four 1930-2030 Fri 6th June 2014

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b045q1py


Duration: 1 hour

Profile of Britain's greatest ever classical pianist and of one of the most successful musical partnerships of the last 50 years, that of John Ogdon and his wife Brenda Lucas Ogdon. For the first time, Brenda and her children Richard and Annabel tell the personal story of John Ogdon - the husband, father and genius.

This is a story of their lives together, one that covers their rollercoaster ride from extraordinary and deserved success to tragic adversity and despair. Featuring unique archive and contemporary performance as well as candid interviews with those who knew him best, this incredible tale is a moving account of their professional partnership.

A fascinating reflection on the power of the art form itself, gained from a lifetime of living, breathing, teaching and performing.

I missed that one also; I would have liked to have seen it. I must watch out for a repeat.
