A Great Friendship
Donald Macleod focuses on the years Dussek spent in the service of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, a man who would become his best friend.
Donald Macleod explores the life and career of the virtuoso pianist and composer Jan Ladislav Dussek, a musician revered in his own time, but largely forgotten today. As Thursday's episode begins, Dussek's life is in turmoil, having fled bankruptcy in London, leaving behind his wife and their child. However, he managed to find a new patron, and a great friend in his next employer - Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia
