A Mingled Chime

An Autobiography by Sir Thomas Beecham Bart.

About this book

This volume is Sir Thomas Beecham's detailed memoirs of his varied and busy life as one of the world's greatest conductors. Beecham's complete lack of inhibition and his candid self-assessment are fully revealed in this very personal document.
Beecham was an English conductor and impresario best known for his association with the London Philharmonic and the Royal Philharmonic orchestras. He was also closely associated with the Liverpool Philharmonic and Hallé orchestras. From the early 20th century until his death, Beecham was a major influence on the musical life of Britain and, according to the BBC, was Britain's first international conductor.
Beecham's repertoire was eclectic, sometimes favouring lesser-known composers over famous ones. His specialities included composers whose works were neglected in Britain before he became their advocate, such as Delius and Berlioz. Other composers with whose music he was frequently associated were Haydn, Schubert, Sibelius and the composer he revered above all others, Mozart.
