Johann Baptist Vanhal (1739-1813) Episode 4 of 5: Going It Alone
Finally recovering from his 'mental disturbance', Vanhal set out on a new career as an independent musician; but was his new peace of mind having a detrimental effect on his music.
Vanhal's story has all the ingredients for a great musical drama: escape from bondage, early success dashed by sudden personal crisis, and a remarkable re-birth won through faith, talent and strength of character. This week, Donald Macleod relates the colourful story of one of the 18th century's leading musical lights.
