Sir John Barbirolli

by

Joyce Hemsley

Series of famous
British names:

Conductor to the Halle Orchestra
~SIR JOHN BARBIROLLI~
Conductor Laureate for Life.

I once enjoyed a Barbirolli Concert
at the Nottingham Albert Hall, an
evening I often recall. He possessed
that certain brilliance when he was
conducting the great composers' music
and was honoured with a Knighthood in
nineteen forty-nine. From a photograph
I hold right now, Sir John is smoking
and engrossed in the sheet music of
Vaughan Williams' Fifth Symphony.
Two great men, and great music.

~SIR JOHN BARBIROLLI~
Born : eighteen ninety-nine
Died : nineteen seventy.
