Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
Liebestraum played by Leslie England (piano)
At a very early age Leslie England showed remarkable musical gifts and aroused the interest of several famous pianists, including Mark Hambourg and Paderewski, who encouraged him to take up the piano as a career. He came to London from Barrow-in-Furness when he was eight years old and studied privately for some years under various professors, until he succeeded in winning an open scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music. He made a tour in Scandinavia in 1927, and has twice toured South Africa-in 1925 and 1929.
