Playing Sir David at squash and starting the King's Singers: Alastair Hume

Radio 3 in Concert

Available for over a year

Alastair Hume remembers his first days at King’s with trepidation. He was particularly impressed by Sir David as a sportsman, especially on the squash court; while in Chapel he vividly remembers the Willcocks emphasis on ensemble and tuning. And when the King’s Singers started, how did Sir David predict they would fare?
