First of three programmes about the ultimate romantic composer, Hector Berlioz with Simon Rattle and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
Splendours and Miseries
Berlioz strides through his life like the hero in a novel by Balzac. His memoirs indeed belong to the same great literary tradition. In this first programme, the composer tells his own version of the triumphs and disasters of a career in music.
Daniel Massey reads from the DAVID CAIRNS translation and the music is drawn from the Fantastic Symphony, the Corsair, Romeo and Juliet and Beatrice and Benedict with Lillian Watson and Alfreda Hodgson.

Pierre Boulez , George Benjamin and Oliver Knussen join

In the setting of a northern hotel, with its leisure breaks and conference facilities,
Alan Bennett reflects on the subject of class - 'My mother's scheme of things admitted to much finer distinctions than are allowed by the sociologists. She'd talk about people being better-class, well-off, nicely-spoken, refined, educated, genuine, ordinary, and (the ultimate condemnation) common.'
I cannot remember when a television programme made me laugh so much
