Master Barbirolli to Tour Australia and Britain
50-year-old Sir John Barbirolli, famed conductor of the Halle, gains British regard as he revives the orchestra from wartime to European prominence. He values music over money, rejected a NYC Philharmonic post, and chose to rebuild the Halle while living simply in Manchester with his wife. He champions affordable concert seats and musical accessibility for the people.
