Members will have been saddened by news of the death of Hugh Bean. Hugh's recording of The Lark Ascending is considered to be one of the most magical recordings of that work. Those who attended the AGM when Hugh was our guest speaker will have appreciated his delightful qualities as a speaker, teacher and interpretor of English music. Elgar's Violin Concerto, which he performed to great acclaim with Adrian Boult at the 1969 Three Choirs Festival was another performance for which he was famous.
