Patricia Routledge

Legendary actress Patricia Routledge and pianist Piers Lane tell the extraordinary story of Myra Hess and the wartime National Gallery concerts that she established.

In Dame Myra’s own words — compiled by her greatnephew, composer Nigel Hess — and with piano music by Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Schumann and Chopin, we hear how the ‘great adventure’ of these 1,600 lunchtime concerts began, and how it continued while bombs rained down on London.
