This inspiriting account of notable achievements, over thirty years of fine music making, records the formative influence of Fred Turnovsky and Arthur Hilton, both refugees from Hitler's Europe, comments throughout on the subtle changes in musical taste which underlie the evolution of such an organisation, and discusses the challenges that lie ahead. It is no mere record of decisions and administrative procedures but an absorbing picture of what lies behind the presentation of great music.
