8.15: Interval: Pied Piper
During the intervals of the concerts this week, we'll be hearing a selection of programmes from the five year long series. Munrow explored a wide range of music, and these five programmes can only begin to give a taste of the topics he covered. In this edition of Pied Piper from 10th March 1975, David Munrow looks at the early days of the life of Sir Thomas Beecham, the impression the success of his grandfather's laxative business had on the family and how the young Thomas learned the repertoire from his father's huge collection of music boxes.

The Elias Quartet visit Leamington Spa, having toured
extensively throughout Europe and the USA and completed
their ground-breaking Beethoven Project: performing
and recording the composer's complete string quartets. Tonight they couple one of the greatest of those with works by Haydn and Britten.
