Eleanor Catherine Warren or Eleanor Catherine Rutherford Warren (15 June, 1919 – 25 August, 2005) was a British cellist and music producer. ==Life== Warren was born in London in 1919; her father was William Rutherford Warren. Her Jewish German mother, Elsa Julia, née Seligman, was a cellist and her daughter was playing as a small child and she was enrolled in the London Cello School. Warren was the youngest ever pupil at the age of five.〔 (Jacqueline du Pré was to also study at the age of five in the 1950s).〔(The Jacqueline Effect ), 27 August 2015, BBC Radio 4, Retrieved 24 November 2015〕 By the time she left the school as a teenager she had met many important musicians.〔(Eleanor Warren ), Daily Telegraph, 10 Oct 2005, Obituary, Retrieved 23 November 2015〕 In 1936 she started the first phase of her career when Gregor Piatigorsky assisted her in getting her first concert appearance as a cellist. By the time of the second world war she was a member of the Ebsworth Quartet and they would tour factories to entertain the workers, play at the National Gallery and in air-raid shelters.〔 She married Walter Susskind in 1943. After the war she continued to play and to teach. The quartet ended in the 1950s and she joined a trio until a back injury indicated a change of direction. She divorced her husband in 1953.〔 She joined the BBC in 1964 and in 1969 she organised a series of broadcasts from a music venue of her own devising. She had identified that the restored St John's Church in Smith Square was an ideal venue for BBC radio concerts. One of its advantages was its distance from traffic noise including underground trains. Each Monday lunchtime the music concerts would be broadcast on BBC Radio until the church was rebuilt.〔 Warren is credited with suggesting the formation of an important trio. She encouraged the collaboration between the pianist Peter Frankl, the violinist György Pauk and the American cellist Ralph Kirshbaum to form the Pauk–Kirshbaum–Frankl Piano Trio.〔Tony Fell, ‘Warren, Eleanor Catherine Rutherford (1919–2005)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Jan 2009; online edn, Jan 2011 (accessed 23 Nov 2015 )〕 Warren eventually left the BBC leaving as the head of BBC Radio music programmes.〔(Eleanor Warren ), Obituary, The Gusardian, Retrieved 23 November 2015〕 She took a number of important posts. The BBC later commissioned ''Fourteen Little Pictures'' by James MacMillan to mark the 25th anniversary of Pauk–Kirshbaum–Frankl Piano Trio. It was played by them at the Wigmore Hall in 1997.〔James MacMillan (Fourteen Little Pictures - Composer's Notes ), Boosey.com, Retrieved 23 November 2015〕 Warren died in 2005.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eleanor Warren (cellist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
