This second volume completes David Cairns's extraordinary life of Berlioz (described by the Financial Times as 'one of the great biographies of our day and one of the great feats of literary sympathy with an artistic genius'). Drawing on a wide range of unpublished and published sources, Cairns recreates the vivid everyday reality of Berlioz's life.
