A portrait of Sir Henry Wood The second of six programmes about great British conductors compiled and written by BRYAN CRIMP
Narrated by John Rowe
Sir Henry Wood will be forever associated with the Promenade Concerts, which he inaugurated at the Queen's Hall on 10 August 1895. But there are other achievements to his name, including some orchestral transcriptions now neglected. This portrait of the public and private man includes contributions from some of those who knew him.
