Due to my starting my stub without being sure which was his major source of notability, i only discovered the existing article after completing this (& rescuing some misnamed lks intended for him). Someone with more interest should probably check for conflict among sources (i notice place of death), and leave a note below indicating that everything of value in my stub is also covered adequately in the article.
- He was born at Naples into a family of Sephardic background. Before the age of 20 he had traveled to England and been useful at a music festival in Birmingham; he acquired British nationality about 10 years laters, and repeatedly conducted various British orchestras for a period of over four decades.
- He wrote nine operas and ballets, and four oratorios and cantatas.
- He died at Brighton at the age of 74.
