Further to Deryk Barker's and Tony Duggan's replies to my query about Ken Russell's Vaughan Williams documentary, IMDB tells me that there are Russell films on Gordon Jacob (1959), Prokofiev (1961), Elgar (1962), Debussy (1963), Bartok (1964), Delius (Song of Summer) (1968) and Vaughan Williams (1986). There are also The Strange Affliction of Anton Bruckner (1990) concerning his numeromania, and The Secret Life of Sir Arnold Bax (1992) concerning his, um, extracurricular activities. Deryk's reference to a Martinu documentary prompts a recollection of one made probably during the 60s with narration by the English novelist and polymath, including composer, Anthony Burgess. I recall especially some fascinating footage shot from Martinu's childhood perspective in the bell tower. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
