These recordings were extremely popular. Harrison appeared as herself in "The Demi-Paradise", as a cellist playing accompaniment to the singing of nightingales for a BBC broadcast. Perhaps inevitably the Elgar Concerto was the work with which she was most closely identified, not least in her performances for Henry Wood. There was a very successful performance in August 1937, and another at the Elgar Concert of 27 August 1940, with the London Symphony Orchestra, in the old Queen's Hall, less than a year before it was destroyed by German bombing. On this occasion the soloist's style was particularly animated, causing her ringlets to 'dance' in such a way that the orchestral players were distracted. During the concert, there was a rattle of gunfire outside and plaster fell inside the hall. Sir Henry considered her performance the finest he had ever directed. She was one of the English soloists who took part in Wood's very final season in July 1944, a month before his death. Beatrice Harrison owned and played a cello made by Pietro Guarneri (Pietro da Venezia) (1695–1762). She died in Surrey in 1965. On 9 December 1992 at Wigmore Hall the Beatrice Harrison Centenary Concert was given by cellist Julian Lloyd Webber and pianist John Lenehan. The programme consisted of works especially associated with the cellist including the Cello Sonatas by John Ireland and Delius as well as the Pastoral and Reel by Cyril Scott which Lloyd Webber played with Harrison's sister, Margaret, on the piano.
