This Week's Composer

Berlioz (1803-69)
The lightning flash of his genius revealed the whole heaven of art to me, illuminating its remotest depths in a single flash. (MEMOIRS) So Berlioz described the impact on his life of William Shakespeare , after he had attended the first performance in France of Hamlet in 1827. This week's programmes reflect this lifelong enthusiasm.
