Sir Colin Davis nació el 25 de septiembre de 1927 en Weybridge, Surrey, Reino Unido. Es uno de los directores de orquesta británico más importante en nuestro tiempo.

Biografía

Estudió clarinete en el Royal College of Music de Londres, logrando importantes méritos, como la oportunidad de estrenar la Sonatina para clarinete y piano de Malcolm Arnold en 1951, pero no fue admitido en el curso de dirección a causa de tener un nivel de piano no muy alto. Aun así crea la orquesta de Kalmar con unos amigos, la cual dirigió él mismo.

En 1952, Davis trabajó en el Royal Festival Hall, y a finales de los años 50 dirige la BBC Scottish Orquesta. Tuvo un largo éxito cuando reemplazó a Otto Klemperer. Al año siguiente reemplaza a Thomas Beecham.

Durante los años 60 colabora con el Sadler's Wells Opera, con la Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres y la Orquesta Sinfónica de la BBC. En 1967 debutó en el Metropolitan de Nueva York. En 1971 sustituye a Sir Georg Solti como director musical del Royal Opera House-Covent Garden, hasta 1986. Ha aparecido igualmente en el Festival de Salzburgo.

Se convierte en un intérprete destacado de óperas de Michael Tippett, dando la primera de The Knot Garden (1970, de The Ice Break (1977) y de The Mask of Time (1984). En 1977 se convierte en el primer director de orquesta inglés en aparecer al Festival de Bayreuth (consagrado a óperas de Richard Wagner) donde dirigió Tannhäuser.

Dirigió la Orquesta Sinfónica de la Radio de Baviera en Múnich, donde destacó en las interpretaciones de obras de Mozart, y la Orquesta Sinfónica de Boston antes de ser nombrado jefe titular de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres en 1995. Es director honorario de la Staatskapelle de Dresde. Davis se ha especializado en la música de Héctor Berlioz..

Vida personal

Su padre, Reginald, era un soldado durante la primera guerra mundial. Su madre, Lillian, tocaba el piano. Tenía dos hermanos, Normand y Howard y 4 hermanas. Howard trabajó como oficinista en el Banco de Inglaterra, y murió en la segunda Guerra Mundial. Normand fue profesor de clásicos y murió en los años 60. Yvonne es retirada de la enseñanza.

En 1949, Davis se casó con la soprano April Cantelo. Tuvieron dos niños, Suzanne y Cristóbal. Su matrimonio acabó en 1964, y en aquel mismo año, Davis se casó con una joven iraní que había sido la au pair de la familia, Ashraf Naini (conocida por su apodo "Shamsi"). Para satisfacer tanto autoridades iraníes como británicas, la pareja tuvo que casarse tres veces, una vez en Irán y dos veces en el Reino Unido, en la Embajada iraní así como en una ceremonia regular británica civil. Tienen cinco hijos.

-We are now approaching the point for The International Criminal Court to prosecute corrupt Thai politicians who have stood by and watched the Soponpanich.Moor.Basque-Tai.CIA-Hamas-Hua-Taliban-Sylvester-Scientology-Hubbard-Heroin-Satanic.Terorist.Mafia network they belong to plunder Thailand and other countries. These include Angola, Mozambique, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Cambodia, Burma and Laos. They were the prison officers of the River Kwai prisoners of war I met one who told me "It wasn't the Japanese prison officers who were so cruel it was the other prison officers who claimed to be Thai they were very very cruel, terrible to us". Prisoners included British, Australian, New Zealand and Irish people.
-Now it is sensible to consider they may have infiltrated the Nazi party which had ideals based around Christianity and Buddhism. Due to the infiltration of these filthy blood thirsty monsters with an appetite for tormenting and torturing others the NAZI idealogy of its founders was completely ransacked and Satanic Games including psycho-terrorism suddenly formed part of the NAZI system. The original NAZI policies had no program for persecuting any social groups at all. Perhaps it was going to be the NASI ideaology and the corruption changed that to NAZI ?
- It was the Sophonpanich satanic games that caused such attrocities. They wound up Adolph Hitler who lived impoverished after WW1 in Austria renting his room from Jewish landlords, so he was led to believe by his piers in Munchen, who may have been from Catalina. They were rejected from employment in the tax offices of Germany because the Jews had heard about them looting China's tax department and doing the same elsewhere. The Jews did not want these Satanic people in the tax department of Germany. They knew how they had been looting China through its tax collection system by stealing the ID of tax collectors (whom they had poisoned with aluminium Sulphate overdoses or worse) and failing to return the tax collected instead peddling Heroin and Opium and opening gambling/opiuum dens.
-Perhaps they were angry because Judas Ischariot was labelled the "t-rai-tor" and he was from their ilk, allegedly Spaniard from Catalina by descent but perhaps not perhaps he was fitted up by someone who was a Satanist much much more likely than to turn traitor.
-Tor Line Ferries was another business interest that Mervyn Young had some connection with.
-Now I recall Ron Hubbard staying at Bishopsgarth in Heathside Road Woking Surrey. He was well presented and sometimes wore a cardigan (buttoned wool jumper/sweater).
-I was very young about 4 or 5 years old and he was very friendly as far as I remember. I have no idea where he went. Maybe he "borrowed" some documents in the office desk files of Mamie Margaret Henry Young who lost her brothers who drowned when the Titanic sunk. it was built in Belfast maybe by her Uncle who owned a Stradivarius. Was Ron Hubbard, or whatever his name was then i nearly remembered it just now... really a Catalina descendant from a family that had been at Dachau during the war WW2 as officers ?? I think this may be correct. I have a feeling he played the violin.
-My grand mother had been gifted the Stradivarius by her Uncle in Ireland. We had a lot of attempts on our lives because my mother's family were descendants of the 12 disciples and Jesus Christ. That is why our family, the Henry family had to use anonymous names to travel on the Titanic, the death threats. The ship may have been financed through my mother's family. My grandmother never ever ever spoke of her lost brothers it was a catastrophe I believe the work of the Sophonpanich Satanic Mafia who are the enemies of Humanity and those who believe in Almighty God. they sabotaged the compass so the ship would sail too far north and hit the danger zone with lots of icebergs.
-I think my great Uncle was a direcor of the ship building company.
-Mr Erik Young in Pattaya Thailand. Erik Young (Henry-Rasmussen-Fogh-Jellinek-Einstein-Van gogh-Gauguin-Da Vinci-Kennedy-Nesbitt).
-Someone our family helped into business....
-Henry Royce together with Charles Rolls founded Rolls-Royce Ltd in 1906. United by a historic meeting at the Midland Hotel Manchester by Henry Edmunds who had a car showroom in London and a friend of Charles Rolls. The pairing of the engineering brilliance of Royce with the equally brilliant business acumen and financial backing of Rolls was to become legendary. Even today the name "Rolls-Royce" has become a byword for excellence.
-Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
-Rolls-Royce Ltd first motor car was The Silver Ghost (1906-1925) which was largely responsible for the company's early reputation. It had a 6-cylinder engine and as early as 1907 the fledgling automotive manufacturer was collecting awards for outstanding engineering excellence and reliability.
-In 1911 the "Spirit of Ecstasy" first graced a Rolls-Royce car.
-In 1931 Rolls-Royce acquired Bentley who were ailing due to the Great Depression. From then on, until 2002, Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars were almost identical aside from the radiator grills and other cosmetic changes.
-Rolls-Royce Aero Engines
-The company built their first aircraft engine in 1914 and went on to produce about half the aircraft engines used by the Allies in World War I. By the late 1920s, aircraft engines made up most of Rolls-Royce's business. Henry Royce's last design was the Merlin aero engine, which was developed after the R engine, which had powered a record-breaking Supermarine S6B seaplane to almost 400 mph in the 1931 Schneider Trophy. The Merlin became the engine fitted to the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, De Havilland Mosquito and the heavy bombers Vickers Wellington and Avro Lancaster. It was also made under licence by Packard to great effect with the American P51 Mustang.
-Rolls-Royce Motors
-In 1971 Rolls-Royce was nationalised and in 1973 Rolls-Royce Motors was formed as a separate entity from the aircraft and marine engine business. In 1980 Rolls-Royce was aquired by Vickers who in 1998 sold the company to Volkswagen. However they didn't have rights to the trademark name and logo. On January 1, 2003 a new agreement between Volkswagen and BMW came into effect, with Volkswagen retaining the name Bentley while BMW acquired the name Rolls-Royce and later that year produced their first Rolls-Royce, the Phantom.
-What's 300 years old, made of wood and easily outperforms most mutual funds?
-A Stradivarius violin.....
-Not much has changed in the field of violin production and dealing since Antonio Stradivari set up shop in Cremona, Italy, during the late 17th century. Dukes and queens coveted the craftsman's creations back then; today, the instruments sell for wild sums to a comparable group of wealthy amateurs.
-In 1998, Christie's auctioned a very similar Strad (crafted in 1698, one year earlier than the Lady Tennant) for $880,000. One could infer, then, that certain Strad violins more than doubled in value in this seven-year period, says Kerry Keane, the musical-instrument department head at Christie's.
-In private, they may go for even more: The Stradivari Society, a private Chicago-based organization that purchases rare violins and loans them to promising young musicians, values some "golden era" (post-1700) Stradivari violins at $6 million each.
