First published in 1999, this biography from David Tunley draws on
newly researched documentary evidence to chart Campoli's early
success and his later struggle for recognition as a serious artist.
Campoli's early success and his later struggle for recognition as a
serious artist. Campoli's career emerges as one particularly shaped
and directed by the great economic and social forces of the first
half of the century, and the story here is as much that of his
times, as of his life. Described by Szigeti as 'one of the last
great individualists among violinists', Alfredo Campoli was a
household name in the field of British light music prior to the
Second World War. Having made his debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1923
Campoli toured with Melba and Butt, then turned to light music
during the Depression. He became one of Decca's early recording
artists and broadcast frequently for the BBC with his light music
ensembles and pursued a long, successful career as a distinguished
international performer.
