I heard the Beecham Stockhausen story decades ago, when my younger brother was at the Boston Conservatory, so I am very certain that the story was in circulation before Lebrecht began his career.
A Beecham story I have not seen publicized comes via Arturo Delmoni. Beecham was guest-conducting the Cleveland Orchestra. Beecham for some reason was unclear about the order of the program, so he bent over and asked Gingold "What's the first piece?"
Gingold was so flummoxed that he blurted out "The Dying Flutchman," and Beecham started chortling so hard that he had to steady himself on the podium, and every time he thought he was ready to begin conducting, he started laughing again, which only added to Gingold's misery (and perhaps fear that Beecham would have a heart attack then and there).
