We have been notified of the death of Tom Deacon, a Canadian concerts and record executive whose singular achievement was to conceive the cornerstone Philips series, Great Pianists of the 20th Century. the onyl fault anyone could find with the series was the label’s livery colour, taken from the surrounding flatlands of Hilversum.
