Michael Ayrton , sculptor and writer, says. 'Certain composers stand out like mile-stones in my life. Their music is woven into it and a peculiar skein it has made.'
Two of these composers are Berlioz and Purcell and he has chosen excerpts from The Trojans and The Fairy Queen. Two more - Walton and Lambert - he knew personally and he includes a record of Lambert performing Walton's Facade.
