Sir Adrian Boult was appointed the BBC's first Director of Music in 1930, and, though it ended unhappily in 1950, the association between Sir Adrian and the BBC brought honour both to the man and to the institution. Sir Adrian lived on for another 30 years serving the cause of music as modestly and as self-effacingly as he had always done.
In this portrait he is remembered by some of his friends and colleagues. Producer ALAN HAYDOCK
