He entered the musical profession while still in the diplomatic service, which he finally abandoned in 1895. He made his first public appearances in 1903 at the Westmorland festival and at a concert of the Handel Society in London, subsequently achieving wide popularity at the hands of the most critical public. He took part in over 15o performances of The Dream of Gerontius, with which his name became indis solubly associated, while he excelled also in the interpretation of Bach. He was killed in an accident at Boston on Jan. 12, 1921, while on tour in the United States. The exceptional quality of the esteem which he enjoyed at the hands of the public was sub sequently attested by the medallion erected to his memory in the Queen's hall, London.
