Composer of the Week

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958)

Vaughan Williams in the 1920s

In 1921 and 1922 Vaughan Williams composed a series of fine works which paint a picture of a composer really finding his voice. He was never a professing Christian, and yet a powerful theme emerging here is one of uniquely spiritual music, giving rise to the notion of Vaughan Williams as a Christian agnostic. Donald Macleod focuses on this sublime group of works.

Composer of the Week

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)

Berlioz the Dramatist

Berlioz found dramatic expression and inspiration in Beethoven's music. He was also stimulated by the prevailing artistic thirst for literature and art. As a child he had read the Classics on his father's knee, and retained a life-long love of Virgil's the Aeneid. He wasn't a linguist but could read and speak Italian and English, and it's clear from the frequent quotations in his writings that he was thoroughly acquainted with the French classics in poetry and prose.

During the 1820s he discovered Shakespeare and Goethe's Faust, which resulted some years later in one of his most brilliant scores, which he described as an opera without décor or costumes, La damnation de Faust. Donald Macleod is joined by the Berlioz expert David Cairns.
