My Symphony took Half a Century to Finish! with Bede Williams
When John Wallace started his First Symphony in 1974, he'd no idea the piece would only be completed, and recorded, in 2024. Celebrating its release, he talks with Bede Williams, who conducted on the recording--and they discuss the genesis, long gestation and recent recording of the piece--as well as Brass Banding, New Zealand, and whether long-term creative projects are worth the effort!Find out more about his 2025 release, part of a 'Triple Whammy' of recordings to be made available in digital format to purchase and stream: https://www.thewallacecollection.world/triple

70 Years of Music, Rivalry and Friendship
John Wallace first met John Miller in the Tullis Russell Mills Junior Band in the mid-1950's—kicking off a lifelong rivalry and partnership. In this episode they recall everything from their first time hearing one another play: along with band contesting, bastard conductors, and recording Britain's first CDs. But it's not all about the past: they also introduce their new world premiere recordings of trumpet duets by Robin Holloway, Louis Antoine Saint-Jacome, and Jean-François Bellon released today--musical discoveries that are well worth a listen!Listen to these world premiere recordings right now at: https://thewallacecollectionshop.worldJohn Miller's book The Modern Brass Ensemble in 20th Century Britain: https://boydellandbrewer.com/9781783277346/the-modern-brass-ensemble-in-twentieth-century-britain/Subscribe to our youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9i2Yb3MrEVtme11Lbs9UZw
