on 2LO London

View in Radio Times

SIR HAMILTON HARTY, who is only forty-seven, has distinguished himself in several departments of musical work.
He first attracted notice as a composer, when he gained two composition prizes in the year 1904-one for a Piano Quintet and the other for his Irish Symphony.
Later, he became known as one of the finest of our accompanists in London, and more recently his post as Conductor of the Halle Orchestra has brought him still wider fame.
His Comedy Overture, first brought forward at a Promenade Concert in 1907, draws some poetic
. inspiration from Browning, the composer has said; but what poem or poems inspired it we do not know.
