Sir Thomas Beecham, Bart, C.H.:
A Calendar of His Concert and Theatrical Performances
compiled by Maurice Parker
Maurice Parker, 1985
The depth and extent of Beecham's contribution to music in this
century can only be fully understood in the context of his
concert life, which this volume sought to document--six decades
of making music. Although this book did not enjoy commercial
sale per se, a number of libraries purchased and hold copies.
Microfiche copies are available for a donation to the Sir
Thomas Beecham Society. (Use E-mail contact at the bottom of
this list for further details.)
