“I, Hector Louis Berlioz, composer, musician, citizen of France, tell you, in this my Last Will and Testament, that my subject is - and has always been - war.”
So begins an epic journey through the terrible struggles that Berlioz endured to get his great opera The Trojans performed. He never succeeded, and the effort cost him his life.
Sir Brian Young, former Director- General of the IBA, wrote at the time of the first transmission: “Absolutely magnificent. It will win the Prix Italia and every BAFTA award going.”
An artist best known for his orchestral compositions "Grande messe des morts" and "Symphonie fantastique," French Romantic composer Hector Berliosz (1803-1869) arguably obtained far greater recognition posthumously than he did during his lifetime. The celebrated music documentarist Tony Palmer tackles a biographical profile of Berlioz in this unique nonfiction work from 1992. The program places strongest emphasis on the influence that Berlioz wielded on subsequent generations of musicians.
