Nocturne for tenor, seven obbligato instruments and strings → Nocturne (Britten) – The title of the piece is simply "Nocturne". The other words in the current title specify the forces involved but they are not an essential part of the title. Compare Introduction and Allegro (Ravel), where the forces (harp, flute, clarinet and string quartet) are listed in the article but do not form part of the title. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 11:04, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Gerald English's name is associated with a "premiere" of this work with Sir John Barbirolli and the Hallé Orchestra (see [5]).
It certainly can't be the world premiere, which was by Pears with the BBC SO under Schwarz.
It may have been the Australian premiere, as I think the Hallé toured here in the early 1950s (too early) and maybe at other times when Barbirolli was still alive (after his death they toured in 1981 under James Loughran). Barbirolli definitely conducted in Australia not with the Hallé, but I cannot confirm he ever conducted the Hallé Orchestra in Australia.
I'm thinking the claim may refer to the world premiere recording, perhaps, although I know Pears and Britten recorded it in 1959, the year after the WP performance and I always assumed theirs was the WP recording. Also, I can find no confirmation that Barbirolli ever recorded the Nocturne at all.
It may just have been the first time the Hallé ever performed the work. Hardly a huge peg on which to hang one's hat.
Does anyone know what the Gerald English claim actually refers to? -- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ [your turn] 03:06, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
