It's almost 3 weeks ago but I notice that Kenneth Montgomery, a conductor of recordings (commercial and otherwise) that have been mentioned here , died on the 5th of this month.
I live in the South West and I have fond memories of many concerts he gave in Exeter with the Bournemouth Sinfonietta during the 1970s. Not a lot of "unsung" music perhaps but that would have kept the people away, I'm afraid.
