Not many conductors had Ormandy’s

Velvety touch. Was he Normandy’s

Gift to the US?

Enabling us thus

To enjoy his exquisite gourmandise?

 

Have you heard of Sir John Barbirolli?

He reputedly wasn’t very jolly.

But his tone was lush

There was always a hush

When he took up his baton (not his brolly!)
