This is the centenary year of the death of the composer Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) through whose 'Fantastic Symphony' runs a melodic theme which he called l'idee fixe. Other idees fixes - Shakespeare, Goethe, Virgil and the women he idealised - ran also through his entire life.
To Michael Ayrton, painter and sculptor, Berlioz himself has become an idee fixe. With his own paintings, sculptures, and drawing and with works of art of Berlioz's own time, he illustrates his own very personal involvement with the character and music of this strange and passionate composer.
The programme features Berlioz's words and music performed by Jean-Louis Barrault, Josephine Veasey, Ryland Davies, Michael Rippon
