Benjamin Britten in London - 30 September, 1932
from Journeying boy : the diaries of the young Benjamin Britten 1928-1938, page 116:
Listen to a typical Beethoven Prom. on putrid wireless hear. Leonora 3. Tremate Trio* (not first rate B. but jolly in spots) & 9th Symphony Whole programme done with Woods usual exaggeration & lack of detail. The chorus was heroic if naught else.
