Queen's Hall

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1893-1941
Acoustically perfect, physically comfortable, socially agreeable and conveniently placed, Queen's Hall was the centre of British musical life until its destruction in the Blitz.
You just sang and knew it would be equally well heard all over the hall. There was a general feeling of intimacy which I've never felt in any other big hall.
ASTRA DESMOND, FELIX APRAHAMIAN, LEON GOOSSENS and IVOR NEWTON contribute their affectionate memories Written and introduced by JOHN AMIS and illustrated with rare recordings
