In the following interview, recorded in 2006, George Hurst provides a wide-ranging overview of his performing and teaching career.
He discusses his formative years, his musical influences, and his work with the BBC Northern Orchestra in Manchester, in particular; and it also provides many reminiscences about his experiences working alongside celebrated soloists and conductors from the ‘golden years’ of the mid-Twentieth Century, and a touching insight into his own personality and life philosophy.
The interview is available complete, but has also been divided into short excerpts by topic and subject, for ease of reference.
