Op zoek naar Helen Dowling

Hosted by NTR

Helen Dowling was a Russian-American violinist who performed concerts as a child prodigy, yet never achieved the same level of fame as her childhood friend and colleague Yehudi Menuhin. Why is that? How did her name end up on the facade of the institute for psychological cancer care in the Netherlands? And why were only two of her LPs ever released? Hans Smit attempts to reconstruct Helen Dowling's life through conversations with those who knew her, including several former students. In Search of Helen Dowling is a five-part NTR/NPO Klassiek podcast by Hans Smit in collaboration with Marjolein de Moor.
