During his life he wrote only four novels: A High Wind in Jamaica, In Hazard, A Fox in the Attic, and The Wooden Shepherdess, and it was a struggle to write them; yet he wrote the first-ever radio play, Danger, in a single night. Once he said, "After all, writing is a life sentence". Make what you will of that.
The programme is based on his own recordings and writings and the memories of his family and friends.

'I am all for innovation, for progress of every kind, but I should like to see it gush out spontaneously from creative necessity.'

Born in Prague 120 years ago, Foerster played a major role in the development of modern Czech music. During the course of his 91 years he knew Dvorak, Fibich, Tchaikovsky and Mahler, and his compositions offer a fascinating contrast to those of his contemporary, Janacek. The programme, which includes examples of his choral and orchestral works, was written by Dr Bedrich Belohlavek, a leading Prague music critic before the war and friend of the composer.
