Hector Berlioz (1803-69) was one of the most original and colourful
composers of his generation whose music was in many ways ahead of
its time. He was also a respected journalist and critic. Begun in
1848, his celebrated Memoires were completed by 1865 but published
posthumously in 1870. They are the best-known of his writings and
reflect the man - passionate, imaginative, idealistic, opinionated
and witty - and give a fascinating, first-hand, insight into his
life. He shares his uncompromising thoughts on his contemporaries
and the musical establishment in France, writes candidly about his
love affairs and engagingly on his music and travels. This first
English translation from the original French, published in 1884,
will appeal to the music lover and the general reader. Volume 2
(1842-65) includes an engaging account, assembled from previously
published material and presented as letters to friends, of travels
to Germany and Russia.
