Bio
Bryden Thomson (1928–1991) was a Scottish conductor known for his work with major British orchestras. Born in Ayr, he studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and later in Hamburg and Vienna before establishing himself as a conductor in the UK. He served as principal conductor of the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra (later the BBC Philharmonic) from 1977 to 1985 and held the same post with the Ulster Orchestra from 1986 until his death. Thomson was particularly noted for his advocacy of British music, recording works by composers such as Arnold Bax, Granville Bantock, and E.J. Moeran for Chandos Records.
