Thomas BeechamAbout
All the performances included here are from Beecham’s final years, between 1954 when he had fully established the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and himself as central figures in England’s musical life, to 1959 where he conducted extraordinarily memorable accounts of Haydn’s Symphony No.101 and Brahms’s Symphony No.2. Every broadcast is captured here in exemplary sound for the time.
Apart from Liszt’s Faust Symphony and Haydn’s Symphony No.101, none of the performances in this set have ever appeared on CD before as far as is known. Even the Beethoven Symphony No.2 recorded here at the Royal Festival Hall on the 14 November 1956 is different from the BBC Legends version recorded a month later in the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios on the 23 December 1956.
