The CD I wrote about in the last article is valuable for its unusual programme but is notable too for the orchestra that plays it, the BBC Philharmonic. In the war years its earlier manifestation -the BBC Northern Orchestra – shared some of its players with the Halle orchestra, until John Barbirolli (see 31/01/06) came on the scene and, losing some of his players permanently to the BBC, built up the new and impressive Halle Orchestra. Mark Elder has been the conductor of the Halle since 2000, and has brought it to a new eminence in the British musical scene.
