About

This 4CD set includes three Beecham concerts from Toronto in 1960, which have never been released before. The works include Haydn Symphonies Nos. 94 and 102, Mozart Symphony No. 38 and Brahms’s Symphony No.2. Some “Lollipops” are introduced by Beecham himself and there are interviews with Leon Goossens and Neville Cardus.

The bonus CD is Beecham conducting the RPO.
