Humphrey Burton is best known as the original presenter of the BBC's Young Musician series. In a long career he has been involved in many other aspects of musical life, directing and hosting televised operas and concerts, running busy creative departments in ITV and BBC, working in many of the world's leading musical venues, lecturing on cruises, and broadcasting with Radio 3 and Classic FM, for whom his 20 part series chronicling Yehudi Menuhin's achievements will be repeated in 2016.
'Burton's skill is his well-judged personal touch ... yet remaining objective about the man who grew from such prodigious beginnings.' -- The Times October 2001 'This is an exceptional biography.' -- Daily Telegraph October 2001
