Sir Charles Halle (1819-95) was a German pianist and conductor. At
the age of 17 he moved to Paris, where he spent twelve years
studying and performing, while moving in circles which included
Berlioz, Chopin, Liszt, de Musset and George Sand. In the
revolutionary year 1848 he moved to London, where he initiated a
series of piano recitals, playing first in his own home and later
in St James's Hall, among which he gave the first performance in
England of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas. In 1849 he moved
to Manchester, and after forming an orchestra for a one-off event
in 1857, he began to give regular concerts with it, and conducted
it until his death: it is now the world-famous Halle Orchestra. In
this fascinating book, edited by his son and daughter, Halle's
autobiography is accompanied by a selection of letters and extracts
from his diaries.
