BiographyHorsley was born in Whanganui, New Zealand in 1920. From 1936 he studied at the Royal College of Music in London. There he studied with Herbert Fryer, Angus Morrison, Tobias Matthay and Irene Scharrer. His solo debut was in Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3.[2] In 1946 he premiered Humphrey Searle's Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 5. Work with Lennox BerkeleyIn 1948 Horsley gave the first performance of Lennox Berkeley's Piano Concerto,[3] and he gave the first performances of some of Berkeley's piano works.[4] He also commissioned a Trio for Horn, Violin and Piano from Berkeley, and premiered it in March 1953 at the Victoria and Albert Museum, with Dennis Brain and Manoug Parikian.[5][6] Berkeley's Piano Sonata, Op. 20, was written for and premiered by Clifford Curzon, but Colin Horsley gave many subsequent performances, and recorded the work in 1959, in close collaboration with the composer.[7] Berkeley dedicated the Concert Study in E‑flat to Horsley, who also commissioned a Scherzo as an encore piece to be played after the Six Preludes.[8] He performed the complete cycle of Beethoven violin sonatas with Max Rostal.[2] He worked with Dennis Brain in playing and recording horn trios by Berkeley and Brahms. He premiered Nikolai Medtner's Piano Quintet when the composer was unable to perform it personally, due to illness. After Medtner's death, his widow Anna asked Horsley to play the composer's Third Piano Concerto at a memorial concert on 5 April 1952 in the Royal Festival Hall, conducted by Anatole Fistoulari.[9] After a touring career, Horsley taught at the Royal Manchester College of Music 1964-80, and at the RCM in London 1955-90.[2] Horsley was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1963.[2] In retirement he lived on the Isle of Man, close to where his grandfather was born. He was the Patron of the Isle of Man Symphony Orchestra.[10] He died on 28 July 2012, aged 92. RecordingsHis currently available recordings include the Berkeley Horn Trio and Mozart works with the Dennis Brain Wind Ensemble; the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 14;[11] the Piano Concerto in E-flat major by John Ireland;[12] and with the violinist Max Rostal there are works by Debussy, Delius, Elgar, Schubert, Schumann, Stravinsky and Walton.[13] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/concert/programmes/upbeat/audio/2526591/colin-horsley-obituary |title=Radio New Zealand : Concert : Programmes : Upbeat : Colin Horsley Obituary |publisher=Radionz.co.nz |date= |accessdate=2012-08-01}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Horsley, Colin}}2. ^1 2 3 David CF Wright, A Lost Generation of Pianists 3. ^jrank.org 4. ^Gramophone, March 1950 5. ^Chester Novello 6. ^MusicRoom 7. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=dPDUvIaPRqwC&pg=PA74&lpg=PA74&dq=colin+horsley&source=bl&ots=6trzKt_wgG&sig=7ueIntBxe8hGm-QP_hLquJtd-Oo&hl=en&ei=y2lpTpClKMqiiAfr9PG9BA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEAQ6AEwBjhk#v=onepage&q=colin%20horsley&f=false Peter Dickinson, The Music of Lennox Berkeley] 8. ^Chandos 9. ^medtner.org.uk 10. ^Isle of Man Symphony Orchestra 11. ^Beulah 12. ^[https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/ireland-piano-concerto-solo/id129837219 itunes] 13. ^ArkivMusic 14 : 1920 births|2012 deaths|New Zealand classical pianists|British classical pianists|British music educators|New Zealand music teachers|Academics of the Royal College of Music|Piano pedagogues|Alumni of the Royal College of Music|New Zealand Officers of the Order of the British Empire|New Zealand emigrants to the United Kingdom|People from Whanganui|20th-century classical pianists|20th-century British musicians |
