Sir John Barbirolli, CH (2 December 1899 – 29 July 1970), né Giovanni Battista
Barbirolli, was a British conductor and cellist. He is
remembered above all as conductor of the Hallé Orchestra
in Manchester, which he helped save from dissolution in
1943 and conducted for the rest of his life. Earlier in his
career he was Arturo Toscanini's successor as music
director of the New York Philharmonic, serving from 1936 to
1943. He was also chief conductor of the Houston Symphony from 1961 to 1967, and was a guest conductor of many
other orchestras, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra,
London Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia, the Berlin Philharmonic and the
Vienna Philharmonic, with all of which he made recordings.
Born in London of Italian and French parentage, Barbirolli grew up in a family of
professional musicians. After starting out as a cellist, he was given the chance to
conduct, from 1926 with the British National Opera Company, and then with Covent
Garden's touring company. On taking up the conductorship of the Hallé he had less
opportunity to work in the opera house, but in the 1950s he conducted productions of
works by Verdi, Wagner, Gluck, and Puccini at Covent Garden with such success that
he was invited to become the company's permanent musical director, an invitation he
declined. Late in his career he made several recordings of operas, of which his 1967
set of Puccini's Madama Butterfly for EMI is probably the best known.
Both in the concert hall and on record, Barbirolli was particularly associated with the
music of English composers such as Elgar, Delius and Vaughan Williams. His
interpretations of other late romantic composers, such as Mahler and Sibelius, as well
as of earlier classical composers, including Schubert, are also still admired
