Sir Adrian Cedric Boult (8 April 1889 22 February 1983) was a British conductor. Boult was created a Knight Bachelor in 1937 and was created a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour (CH) in 1969. He received the gold medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society in 1944 and the Harvard Glee Club medal (jointly with Vaughan Williams) in 1956. He received honorary degrees and fellowships from 13 universities and conservatoires.In 1951 he was invited to be the first president of the Elgar Society. In 1959 he was made president of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music. [5] In the north choir aisle of Westminster Abbey is a small memorial stone to Boult which was unveiled on 8 April 1984
Alfredo Campoli (20 October 1906 27 March 1991) was an Italian-born British violinist, often known simply as Campoli. Hewas noted for the beauty of the tone he produced from the violin. He considered the phrasing of each passage he played and if he could achieve bel canto by shortening or lengthening a note then he would do so. He was not afraid to lift the bow from the strings, an act that seems to be completely avoided today. Brief breaks of sound can add tremendous drama and power to a performance, even when not indicated by the composer.
When Mark Hambourg went in Vienna to audition for Leschetizky, Annette Essipova, the absent master's current wife, heard him play Bach's Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue. She accepted him on the spot. Leschetizky prepared Hambourg for his Vienna debut in 1894. He performed Chopin's E minor Concerto with Hans Richter conducting the Vienna Philharmonic to considerable acclaim. The following year he performed Anton Rubinstein's D minor concerto with Nikisch and the Berlin Philharmonic. Once during a Brahms Festival in Vienna he performed that composer's first concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic under Felix Weingartner. Hambourg learned that Brahms had been in the audience and had sent his compliments. Anton Rubinstein heard the young Hambourg and recommended him to the noted Berlin impresario Wolff.
He also performed Tchaikovsky's First Concerto under Artur Nikisch and subsequently recorded it with Landon Ronald. Hambourg credited Nikisch and Ronald as the greatest conductors with whom he had performed. And he often spoke of having performed the Beethoven C minor concerto conducted by the great Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaye.
Mark Hambourg was a historic Russian early 1900s pianist strongly influenced by Paderewski whom he considered "the hero of his earliest youth". Of others he wrote "I do not suppose that any pianist today could play faster or louder than Moriz Rosenthal, or with more power than Eugen D'Albert, more impressively than Busoni or with greater elegance than Emil Sauer." Rosenthal, Busoni and Nikisch became his close friends. Mark Hambourg performed and premiered numerous works by contemporary composers including Debussy, Ravel (Jeux D'eau and Gaspard de la Nuit), Albeniz, Granados, Malipiero, and Villa Lobos.
