A portrait of Sir Thomas Beecham
The last of six programmes about British conductors compiled and written by BRYAN CRIMP
Narrator John Rowe
Most musicians who played under Sir Thomas Beecham agree that he was some kind of magician. Talking about him they wonder how, despite his erratic use of the baton, he was able to conjure from them some of the greatest performances of their lives.
In this programme you can also hear Beecham on Beecham, as well as music by Handel, Delius, Berlioz, Sibelius and Mozart.
Producer ALAN HAYDOCK (R) Stereo
