Charles Halle was one of the leading musicians of the nineteenth
century and intimate with almost all of the great composers and
performers of his time, as well as a friend of the Royal Family and
known as much as a pianist and chamber musician as a conductor, in
London, throughout the country and abroad, in addition to
Manchester. Robert Beale presents a new perspective on Halle's life
and achievement, constructed mainly from primary sources, which
serves to dispel many of the inaccuracies and omissions that have
stemmed, to a great extent, from Halle's own autobiographical
account of 1896. His edited memoirs omit much of the competition
and controversy, struggles and disappointments of his career in
Manchester, and, indeed, hardly convey the scope of his activities
elsewhere. Halle was a key figure in the shift from contemporary to
'classical' repertory in orchestral concerts and piano performance.
Not only did he found the Manchester orchestra, in 1862-3 he also
gave the first known cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas. His early
annual 'recital' series in London marked a new era in the musical
history of his time. The formation of the modern 'symphony
orchestra' took place during the period of Halle's professional
life, and he was a pioneer in the process, in both artistic and
business terms. Having adopted the role of orchestral conductor
when it was itself relatively novel, he became one of the
acknowledged masters of the craft over four and half decades - as
well as continuing to appear as solo pianist and chamber musician,
and in addition he was enormously influential as musical pedagogue
and educationist.
