(baritone)
This famous baritone was among the last to broadcast from Savoy Hill and among the first to do so from Broadcasting House. He has broadcast a notable number of first performances of modern works, and he was televised in Acis and Galatea two years ago.
Foundations of Music, lieder and English song recitals, Sunday Evening Concerts with Dr. Malcolm Sargent, light opera, ballad concerts, student songs-he shines at them all. When he sang the part of Amfortas in a broadcast of Parsifal with Sir Adrian Boult on the Easter Sunday before war broke out, he was heard in Holland and invited to sing the role in two performances at Scheveningen.
