Article Abstract:
Sound archivist Patrick Saul developed an interest in music through listening to records and to European radio stations. He began his working life as a bank clerk, and during the second world war was a conscientious objector. He subsequently studied for a degree in Psychology as an external mature student at London University. He became Secretary of the British Institute of Recorded Sound, now the National Sound Archive at the British Library, in 1948. He organized influential lecture-recitals, and in 1966 published a catalogue of off-air recordings of music by 20th century composers.
