in Royal Festival Hall - the 1950's
from Southbank Centre Archive:
Hearing the great Alfred Deller in 'Messiah' filling the RFH with that unique voice:- seeing the incomparable Louis Armstrong steal the show at a benefit concert for Hungary:- watching RFH stewards trying vainly to deal with protesters at a famous Russian orchestra's concert:- the musicians were ashen! - wonderful mid-week 6p.m. organ concerts.
