Sunday Feature: What Did George Lloyd Do Wrong?

Series 1, episode 0

English composer George Lloyd achieved great success very early in his life, including symphonic performances by orchestras in Bournemouth, Penzance and Eastbourne, as well as two operas staged in London, including The Serf at Covent Garden. Yet from his mid-twenties and with the outbreak of the Second World War, Lloyd wouldn't see such success again for another 30 years, despite many attempts to interest people in his music. Simon Heffer is joined by the composer's nephew William Lloyd to help tease out the remarkable highs and lows of this turbulent creative trajectory
