Description

Renowned in his own lifetime for the rapid rate at which he produced new works, Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) was also an important conductor and teacher. Paul Rodmell assesses these different roles and considers what Stanford's legacy to British music has been. Stanford made friends and enemies in equal number. Rodmell charts his relationships with people and institutions such as Richter, Parry and the Royal College of Music, and discusses how they influenced Stanford's career. Perhaps not the most popular of teachers, Stanford nevertheless coached a generation of composers who were to revitalize British music, amongst them Coleridge-Taylor, Ireland, Vaughan-Williams, Holst, Bridge and Howells. Without him, British music of the first half of the 20th century might have taken a very different course.
