JOHN BARBIROLLI

Warm orchestral sound and long-breathed phrasing define much of John Barbirolli's legacy. The English conductor and cellist became closely associated with the Hallé Orchestra, while his recordings of Elgar, Mahler, Sibelius, and English music shaped postwar listening. His work connects the conductor's craft with the expressive weight of the orchestra.
