Antoinette Rubbra et al. in Oxford, and Christ's Hospital, Horsham - in the middle of the 1950's
from Paintings 1958–1998: Ideas and Influences, page 19:
A letter would arrive from my mother: ‘Barbirolli conducted the 6th like an angel in a concert at Oxford last night.’ A little later I wrote to my father, ‘I heard your 6th symphony on the radio. Every time I hear the slow movement I weep with the beauty of it. I am sure it is the most beautiful piece of music ever written.’
