Composer honoured
SIR Lennox Berkeley, the British composer famed for his dark and brooding style, has been commemorated with a green plaque outside his old Warwick Avenue home.
Sir Lennox, a long term friend of Benjamin Britten, is widely credited with dragging English composers away from pastoral romanticism. The composer’s Little Venice home became something of a musical ideas factory, visited by the great and good of the art world with John Tavener, Diana Cooper, John Betjeman and even a young Daniel Day Lewis all stepping over the threshold. |
