[Prommer]

And here is the casus belli, at long last: Humphrey Burton's documentary on Sir Reginald Goodall, from 1984.

See and hear for yourselves. We have been talking about it, so we might as well as see it!

I can only add that Carlos Kleiber commented of this documentary:

"The sweetest man and a great conductor! Perhaps he could only achieve if venerated; and had luck in finding the right ensembles and orchestras for that. He was 100% pure. This quality he shared with nobody."

Some copies of the John Lucas biography are available on Amazon/Abebooks at very reasonable prices. I've just ordered on for £2.80.

I guess that's what made him the greatest Wagner conductor!

No need, dear boy, no need.

It seems that you found it and posted it on the day it was published on YouTube, 5th July 2017!

Did you have insider knowledge, or was it a coincidence?

How quaint the ways of...serendipity.
