Peter Warlock
Peter Warlock is one of the several pseudonyms adopted by the critic, researcher, editor and composer, Phillip Heseltine (1894-1930). Previous studies of Warlock have almost all been exclusively biographical, using the pseudonyms as evidence of a split personality and applying this and the other controversial aspects of his life-style to an evaluation of his music.
Peter Warlock
Peter Warlock (Philip Heseltine) is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic of twentieth-century British composers. He was by turns a sensitive songwriter of remarkable genius, a witty and caustic critic, a rare scholar of early music, and a friend of some of the leading figures of the day--including William Walton, Jacob Epstein, and D. H. Lawrence. This is a complete account of this mercurial musician. Barry Smith uses new and often controversial material in telling his real, and frequently outrageous story. Here is the man, the composer, writer, and scholar, from his dangerous involvement in the occult to his long lasting loves and hates--all of which ended by his own hand in a gas-filled London flat on a cold winter's morning in 1930.
Frederick Delius and Peter Warlock
In their often frank writing, the characters and interaction of the two men is highlighted and in their informal and often gossipy way, they illuminate the musical life and many personalities of the time."--Jacket.
