Kenneth Alwyn (1925-2020) was an English conductor, composer and broadcaster, active in concert, theatre, radio and recording. He became associated with a wide repertory and with practical studio musicianship.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears conducting Tchaikovsky with the London Symphony Orchestra, linked to Decca’s early stereo recording history.

Alwyn’s conducting, as represented here, belongs to the post-war British recording world: clear, efficient and vividly shaped for the microphone.

His page is justified by secure identity and recording-history context. Alwyn gives the Tchaikovsky shelf a bright early-stereo baton.
