Beecham’s 80th birthday
A conductor of genius, and a man of proverbial wit and dynamism – notably as founder of both the London Philharmonic and Royal Philharmonic orchestras – Sir Thomas Beecham was one of the 20th century’s great musical personalities. Traced here through landmarks of his recorded catalogue, his career is also illuminated with narrative and commentary – from distinguished critics and historians, from legendary performances such as Jon Vickers and Nicolai Gedda, and from Sir Thomas himself.
