Lamond-whose name, as everyone knows, is a good old Scots one, although many pronounce it in Continental style-first learned music from his brother David before studying on the Continent, where he made a great success. He came back to Glasgow, the city of his birth, in 1886, for the first piano recital he gave in Great Britain. Next he went to London and in his fourth concert there Liszt set the seal on the young man's reputation by attending. He is also a composer, and his Symphony in A was first played by the Glasgow Choral Union in 1889, but it is as an interpreter of Beethoven that he has won his greatest fame.
