Great Victorians
A dandy, a virtuoso of dance music and a flamboyant showman, Louis Jullien left Paris to escape a bankruptcy suit. Once in London, he promoted the first series of Promenade concerts - mixing popular showpieces with great classics - which he conducted with a jewelled baton held in white-gloved hands.
Berlioz described him as having "the incontestable character of a madman" - prophetic words, since Jullien ended his days in an asylum. Editor Andrew Lyle
