"He was a man, we shall not look upon his like again" (Hector Berlioz)
Composers from Berlioz to Bernstein and Chopin to Stravinsky have loved and learnt from Weber's music. This week's programmes feature the favourite Weber works of five famous composers introduced by their own comments.
Hector Berlioz on the original piano version of Weber's Invitation to the Dance and excerpts from the opera Der Freischutz: "It's hard to think of any other work, old or new, so perfect in every respect. Der Freischutz is a masterpiece of originality, passion and poetic imagination. I wouldn't change a single bar of it".

Georg Bohm (1661-1733), Nicolaus Bruhns (1665-1697) and Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) were renowned throughout 17th-century
Germany as organists and composers. All three cast an influence upon Bach, who as a young man walked 200 miles to hear Buxtehude play, was a friend of Bohm, and knew Bruhns as the virtuoso who could play organ and violin simultaneously. This week's programmes explore the composers' keyboard, chamber and church music, and look at their relationships with each other, the musical world they lived in, and their more famous successor.
