Sad news this morning of the death of Trevor Green, the BBC’s head of music in 1990s Manchester. Trevor revitalised the BBC Philharmonic after a period in the doldrums and threats to its existence. Trevor won the orchestra a contract to make one commercial recording a month and took it on an inaugural US tour.

He went on to become managing director of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, remaining in Australia after his retirement in 2010. He was ever the most calm and charming of colleagues.

Trevor, who died at homen in Yorkshire, was 78.
