Composer of the Week: Weber

on BBC Radio 3

Presented by William Mival. "Carl Maria 's person was thin, almost insignificant, but there was much in him to charm, whether in the noble form of his somewhat lengthy head, or in his deep blue eyes, or in the ever-varying expression of his face, now lighted by roguish humour or jovial enjoyment, now flushed with enthusiasm, now illuminated by profound and noble thoughts. No wonder then that many women preferred him to handsomer and more striking men"
- Max Maria Weber.
