The Valley of Hatsu-Se, for soprano, flute, clarinet, cello and piano, Op. 62 (1965) – on early Japanese poetry Don Fernando sings Des besten Königs Wink und Wille! (On behalf of our King I come to you… ). He has a list of all the prisoners who shall be freed. But Florestan is not on it, because he’s supposed to be dead.

Fidelio searches for Florestan among the prisoners but in vain. When Rocco enters they talk and the plan to kill Florestan is revealed to Fidelio . Rocco also says that Pizarro has agreed to let Fidelio help him in the lower dungeons… To dig the grave. The lights dim, the organ strikes up, a ghostly voice rises towards the heavens as video images of brain scans and scientific calculations slowly swirl – the perfect cue for evolutionary biologist and professional atheist Richard Dawkins to make his operatic debut. Rocco and Fidelio enter. Florestan has fallen asleep/gone into a coma so he doesn’t recognize anybody. Fidelio on the other hand tries to see who it really is, lying there on the floor.She was totally uncompromising when it came to her music and I think this gave it its originality. In spite of being known by the label or epithet “intellectual”, she was profoundly emotional. The range of her work also is amazing as is her range of instrumentation and the sound world she created. Her love of poetry was a source of many lyrical pieces as well as a very strong sense of drama. some of her most beautiful music was written for the theatre, in particular her collaborations with director Minos Volanakis on new productions of ancient Greek plays such as euripides’s The Bacchae. Her Hammer Horror scores became legendary. she almost hero-worshipped her father Ned and felt she was the only one — being creative herself — who truly understood him. Alas, I don’t remember knowing Edwin myself, but apparently I used to shuffle his patience cards although he never minded!’

Conrad recently showed his sculptures based on music and landscape — Miles Davis in the Oz Desert and Down at the Crossroads — at an exhibition at the Association of Sculptors of Victoria. He is also hoping to set up a stone-carving studio in India in the near future.

The BBC programme inspired us to take a fresh look at her career, life and colourful, unconventional personality. We’re fortunate to have been able to talk to three of her children — Rose and Tess who live in London and Conrad who is based in Melbourne. They were kind enough to relay their unique, personal recollections of their mother, who was often known as Liz or Betty. And we spoke to one of her former pupils Robert Saxton, now Fellow and Tutor in Music at Worcester College, Oxford University, who remembers her fondly. ‘Liz was my teacher for four years — most lessons lasting at least five hours! — then we remained friends,’ he says. ‘I proofread for her and she, my parents and then my wife, Teresa, all got on very well. she is often thought of, and admired, as the first 20-Century British composer to use serial technique. Thirty years after her death, a clearer perspective reveals that she employed the principles of 12-note composition at the service of a highly individual vision, technique being invariably the servant of her often burning inspiration.’ Composed by Elisabeth Lutyens (1906-1984). Score Only. University of York Music Press #MUSM570205004. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.MUSM570205004). In 1972, she published her autobiography A Goldfish Bowl. Right up until her death in 1983, she remained a forceful, fiery character. Elisabeth remembered by her daughter Rose Abdalla
