This week Afternoon on 3 celebrates the neglected English composer York Bowen for the fiftieth anniversary of his death. Today's programme centres around the year 1929 which not only saw the composition of Bowen's Piano Concerto no. 4, but also Bartok's 1st Rhapsody, Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, and Shostakovich's music for the silent film New Babylon.
