A Portrait of CONSTANT LAMBERT
'CONSTANT LAMBERT,' said Maynard Keynes to Frederick Ashton, ' is potentially the most brilliant man I've ever met.' That was in the 1920s; today few people have the opportunities to discover why Lambert was brilliant. His admirable compositions, with the exception of The Rio Grande, are neglected, his splendid ballet scores have waited in vain to be revived, his stimulating book Music Ho!-A Study of Music in Decline, is seldom read.
Since his death in 1951, at the age of forty-six, Lambert has been, of course, remembered by the musical public of his own generation as a composer, conductor, and writer, and for his outstanding work in the creation of British ballet. But, to his friends and acquaintances who knew his many-sidedness, he was far more than this; he and his magnificent miscellany of interests were something very special in their lives. In our programme Michael Ayrton and I have attempted a portrait of Constant, the passionate man we knew, rather than a reverential study of Lambert the musician.
Some time ago BBC-2 broadcast a programme called In Search of Constant Lambert for which they recorded the recollections of many people who were close
