Sir William has been a hero of mine for decades and I'd never heard his voice until today, when I stumbled upon this post. Many thanks indeed!! While I'm here, may I just have a quick moan on Sir William's behalf? I get so angry and frustrated when I read in so many books and articles that Sir Adrian Boult conducted the music for the 1953 Coronation. Yes, Sir Adrian conducted the orchestral music before and after the service, but the music during the service was unequivocally under the baton of Sir William! Rant over!
