Robert Watkin-Mills
Robert Watkin-Mills (March 4, 1849 – December 10, 1930) was an English bass-baritone concert singer of the late Victorian era who in his later career moved to Canada. An early recording artist, he recorded selections from the works of Schumann, Handel, Wagner, Gounod and Mendelssohn for Pathé Records (1903) and Odeon Records (1907-8).
==Early life and career==
Born in Painswick in Gloucestershire, he was the son of Mary Watkins (born 1817) and Thomas Mills (1819 – 1883). In 1869 he married Elizabeth Hore (1850-after 1891).〔(Robert Watkin-Mills Family Tree - Ancestry.com – pay to view )〕 Robert Watkin-Mills studied singing with Samuel Sebastian Wesley in Gloucestershire, Edwin Holland in London, and Federico Blasco in Milan. He made his professional singing debut at The Crystal Palace in May 1884 in a concert with Sims Reeves. In 1886 he sang the role of the Forester in the premiere of Arthur Sullivan's cantata ''The Golden Legend'' at the triennial Leeds Festival. He also sang in the 1893 premiere of Ethel Smyth's ''Mass in D'' at the Royal Albert Hall. He had a successful career in Great Britain, the United States (he returned almost every year from 1894), and in Australia from 1904 to 1905.〔(Christchurch Musical Union:(Music programmes. 1898-1907) - National Library of New Zealand website )〕 In Canada he appeared with the Montreal Philharmonic Society and other musical societies, specialising in the concert platform and in oratorio, especially in such works as Handel's ''Messiah'' and ''Judas Maccabaeus''.〔(Watkin-Mills on The Canadian Encyclopedia )〕
He sang in The Proms every year from 1895 to 1898 in works including ''Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg'', ''Tannhäuser'', and ''Acis and Galatea''.〔(Watkin-Mills on BBC ''The Proms'' website )〕 In November 1900, Henry Wood engaged him for his uncut performance at Nottingham of the first two acts of ''Tannhäuser'' (introducing the Paris version of the ''Venusberg'' scene for the first time in England), along with Robert Radford and others.〔H.J.
