大象传媒

Presented by Louise Fryer.

Radio 3 pays tribute to Vernon 'Tod' Handley, who died in late 2008. A great friend of Arthur Bliss, a huge admirer of Arnold Bax, Handley recorded and broadcast music by British composers which most conductors ignored. Some of that comparatively unknown repertoire features in performances given by the 大象传媒 orchestras, with whom Handley had an enduring relationship.

All performances conducted by Vernon Handley.
