by Vivian Langrish
Vivian Langrish is a Bristolian. At the age of eleven he took part in the Bristol Eisteddfod, and Tobias Matthay , who was acting as an adjudicator, realising the young pianist's gifts, brought him to the Royal Academy of Music. There he studied under Matthay for piano and Corder for composition, and later carried off first the Ada Lewis Scholarship and then the Liszt Scholarship ; the privileges of the latter, however, he was unable to enjoy owing to the outbreak of war.
After serving in the Royal Air
Force, Langrish returned to music ; he played at the Proms, gave recitals, toured as soloist with Dame Clara Butt , and eventually became professor at the Royal Academy of Music and at the Matthay School. In 1922 he gave his first broadcast from Marconi House, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in 1924.
