30 October Matters of Record
The veteran EMI recording producer Christopher Bishop, whose work in the studio with such artists as Sir Adrian Boult, Carlo Maria Giulini and André Previn resulted in some of the most remarkable recordings of the twentieth-century, reminisces to Andrew Keener about the

Putney Music’s Vice-President, David Mellor, explains why the music of Eric Coates, Leroy Anderson and many others merits an audience today.
