	VH1.com : Thomas Beecham : Biography
		Beecham was born in 1879, the son of Sir Joseph Beecham, the maker of a popular and profitable brand of patent medicine.
		Beecham commissioned a new edition of the 18th century piece by Leon Goossens, which updated the scoring and added harps and other instruments never indicated in the composer's score, and had the temerity, in his notes for the recording, to address this issue of authenticity.
		Beecham's health began to decline as he entered his eighties, and he retired in 1959, just as music was undergoing another change that almost certainly wouldn't have been to his liking, with the advent of the rock & roll era in England.

		Beecham's autobiography A Mingled Chime was published in 1944, and his biography Frederick Delius in 1959, on both of which works these notes are partly based.

		Beecham wanted a very idiomatic French produciton of Carmen, and he achieved it on all ocunts--except for Carmen herself, who is a lovable kitten rather than a fiery temptress.
		Beecham's Carmen has enjoyed the status of a classic from the day it was first issued 45 years or so ago.
		This is another Beecham classic, and it seems to me that we have every reason to be grateful that he was so tyrannical and exacting with both his orchestral players and the recording personnel.

		During a rehearsal, conductor Sir Thomas Beecham, who died 40 years ago, thought that his female soloist was playing less than adequately on her fine Italian cello.
		Beecham's talent for aphorism risks overshadowing his achievements as a a musician.
		On Joseph's death in 1916, Thomas faced an estate complicated by a contract that his father had signed to purchase the Covent Garden Estate, including five theatres, from the Duke of Bedford - due to the war, it took about six years to unravel the legal quagmire.
