The musical achievements of the composer, transcriber and journalist
Philip Heseltine (alias Peter Warlock ) vie for attention with his image as a womaniser who dabbled in the occult and was over-fond of drink. To mark the centenary of his birth,
Andrew Green attempts the daunting task of summing up one of the great characters of English music in the 20th century and assesses how far the compositions are the key to understanding the complexities of the man. Producer Fiona Shelmerdine
