Udgivelsesdato: Mar 26, 1968

An affectionate portrait of Sir Thomas Beecham, Bt., C.H. 1879-1961 He started the hard way - at the top - and he stayed there all his life, vitalising, financing, organising, publicising the art of music. Seven years after his death, his name still evokes a tradition, a legend, a myth which proclaims that music is, above all else, to be enjoyed. The programme features some of the musicians and singers who worked with him: Jack Brymer, George Brownfoot, Eugene Cruft, Norman Del Mar, Geraint Evans, Leon Goossens, Gerald Jackson, Cedric Sharpe, Leopold Stokowski, Dame Eva Turner and Joan Sims and Graham Stark with Ralph Nicholson. Sir Thomas Beecham conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (Joan Sims is appearing in "Uproar in the House" at the Whitehall Theatre, London) Contributors Subject/Conductor: Sir Thomas Beecham Writer/Producer: Herbert Chappell Speaker: Jack Brymer Speaker: George Brownfoot Speaker: Eugene Cruft Speaker: Norman Del Mar Speaker: Ge
