Untitled
[edit]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.

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.
