Presented by Louise Fryer.
Radio 3 pays tribute to Vernon 'Tod' Handley, who died in late 2008. A great friend of Arthur Bliss, a huge admirer of Arnold Bax, Handley recorded and broadcast music by British composers which most conductors ignored. Some of that comparatively unknown repertoire features in performances given by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ orchestras, with whom Handley had an enduring relationship.
