He was often in Greenock with the SNO in the 60's so as a small boy that was a sometimes twice yearly treat that my mum took me along to. Those superb performances started me on a lifelong love of orchestral music and especially Sibelius.

His Sibelius and Berlioz (and the occasional Rossini overture on an old lp in a thrift store record bin) with the Scottish National Orchestra I grew up with in the 1980's. Like with Colin Davis and Thomas Beecham.
