| George Henschel (Isidor Georg Henschel) (1850 - 1934), English musician (naturalized 1890), of German family, was born at Breslau, and educated as a pianist, making his first public appearance in Berlin in 1862. He subsequently, however, took up singing, having developed a fine baritone voice; and in 1868 he sang the part of Hans Sachs in Meistersinger at Munich. In 1877 he began a successful career in England, singing at the principal concerts and in 1881 he married the American soprano, Lilian Bailey (1860–1901), who was associated with him in a number of vocal recitals. He was also prominent as a conductor, starting the London symphony concerts in 1886, and both in England and America (where he was the first conductor of the Boston symphony concerts, 1881) he took a leading part in advancing his art. He composed a number of instrumental works, a fine Stabat Mater (Birmingham festival, 1894), etc., and an opera, Nubia (Dresden, 1899). ---- [ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for George Henschel ] Some related entries: David Bedford | Carlton Barrett | David Mancuso | Hilary Tann | Blak Twang | R.
