From Arthur Butterworth
MBE, composer and conductor -
A musician of immense
imagination, Adrian Smith possessed
not only ability as an historian and
eloquent commentator on musical matters
but also, as a conductor of considerable
enterprise and enthusiasm, the facility
to persuade others - both musicians
and listeners alike - to explore new
musical paths in the many outstanding
and captivating programmes he devised
and directed with such rewarding success,
to the lasting pleasure and enlightenment
of us all.
