BONUS EDITION: Sir Humphrey Burton
This week, one of the most important figures in arts broadcasting, Sir Humphrey Burton, celebrates his 90th birthday. As a special tribute to Humphrey, here is an exclusive interview Tommy Pearson recorded with him in 2018 at home in Aldeburgh - and this is the first time the recording has been heard. In a wide-ranging chat, Humphrey Burton talks about his extraordinary career, from joining the BBC in the 1950s, to heading Music and Arts at the BBC and LWT, his long working relationship with Leonard Bernstein, creating Young Musician of the Year and even how he nearly joined MI6 (or did he?).
