The autobiography of conductor Sir Thomas Beecham with a witty inscription to the front paste-down. From the early twentieth century until his death, Beecham was a major influence on the musical life of Britain and, according to Neville Cardus, was the first British conductor to have a regular international career. Beecham hailed from a wealthy industrial family, and used the money at his disposal to transform the operatic scene in England from the 1910s until the start of World War II, staging seasons at Covent Garden, Drury Lane and His Majesty's Theatre with international stars, his own hand-picked orchestra and a wide range of repertoire. In the concert hall, London still has two orchestras founded by Beecham: the London Philharmonic and the Royal Philharmonic. He was known for his wit, and many "Beecham stories" are still told nearly fifty years after his death. £75.00 [002229] Boult, Adrian Cedric. My Own Trumpet. London: Hamish Hamilton, 1974.
