Live - NY, Carnegie Hall - March 6, 1931


The complete concert given by AT on march 1, 1936: very short, because Dusolina Giannini sang part of the program accompanied at the piano by Edwin McArthur.
So, in addiction I've included a Beethoven 5th recorded in 1931 (live).

Beecham - All Mozart Concert 1947 (reup)




A rare (unpublished, I think) All Mozart Concert with Beecham's second wife at the piano + broadcast announcements and brief intros to each work by Sir Thomas.

Btw, The RPO gave his first concert in 1946 (sept 15).
So, one of the oldest documents of STB on the podium of his latest "creature".


MOZART

The Magic Flute, overture
Divertimento in D Major K. 131
Piano Concerto n. 19 in F Major K. 459 (*)
Le Nozze di Figaro, overture

Betty Humby Beecham, piano (*)

+ Beecham - collected interviews & speeches
