Composer-conductor-performers.

Across the centuries leading musicians, at home and abroad, have demonstrated their versatility in fulfilling dual roles as composer-conductors, conductor-performers or performer-composers with great success. In today's Afternoon on 3, Louise Fryer celebrates the accomplishments of figures who have met these criteria, including Sir Edward Elgar, Constant Lambert, William Walton and Gustav Mahler, together with the contemporary British composer-performer Huw Watkins.
