It's a Family Business
The Wallfisch Family
1/4. In the first of a four-part series featuring generations of families where music is the life's blood, Humphrey Burton meets with three generations of the Wallfisch Family.

Anita Lasker-Wallfisch survived the Auschwitz death camp because she was a musician and played the cello in the camp's orchestra. She married an international pianist whom she first met at school, the late Peter Wallfisch. Their son Raphael Wallfisch is also a cellist. He has performed all over the world as a soloist and recitalist.

Raphael's children are the third generation: Benjamin is a composer and conductor. In his role as Assistant Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, he conducted the first performance of his first symphony earlier this year. Joanna is a jazz singer and is about to begin her student days at Art College and Simon, having completed his studies at the Royal College of Music in London, is a baritone but also continues the family tradition as he is a cellist as well.

They discuss how music became an integral part of family life, interspersed with recordings of various members of the family performing music with very particular family ties.

Complete performance
Tommy Pearson presents a concert recorded last week at the Barbican Hall, London.

The London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bernstein pupil Marin Alsop take on a mixture of opera, rock, blues, Broadway and the Latin of the Catholic Mass in a rare chance to hear Bernstein's powerful piece from the Barbican in London.

Composer of the Week
Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)
1/5. Berlioz the Songwriter
Biographer and Berlioz authority David Cairns joins Donald Macleod to talk about aspects of Hector Berlioz's music. They discuss Berlioz's songwriting. Berlioz's earliest compositions were songs, some of which may have been written while he was still living at home with his parents in La Cote-Saint-Andre. As a young man keen to further his musical studies he moved to Paris in 1821, but although he became enthused with writing larger orchestral works he continued to write songs intermittently up until 1850, expanding and developing the genre.
