}} Terence Weil (9 December 1921 in London – 25 February 1995 in Figueras) was a British cellist, principal cellist of the English Chamber Orchestra, a founding member of the Melos Ensemble, a leading chamber musician and an influential teacher at the Royal Northern College of Music. == Career == Herbert Walenn was his cello teacher at the Royal Academy of Music.〔(Obituary Terence Weil ) ''The Independent'', William Waterhouse, 9 March 1995〕 After the war he joined a string quartet formed by the violinist Emanuel Hurwitz, a friend and colleague. He was also principal cello of chamber orchestras such as the Goldsbrough Orchestra (later known as the English Chamber Orchestra, or ECO), and was an outstanding continuo cellist. Together with clarinettist Gervase de Peyer and violist Cecil Aronowitz, he helped found the Melos Ensemble in 1950.〔(Biography ) Chadbourne〕 He was its principal cellist for decades, and Aronowitz its principal violist. Bassoonist William Waterhouse wrote in 1995: "It was the remarkable rapport between this pair of lower strings, which remained constant throughout a succession of distinguished leaders, that gave a special distinction to this outstanding ensemble."〔 His close association with Benjamin Britten began in 1946, when he played in the premiere of his opera ''The Rape of Lucretia'' in the first postwar season of the Glyndebourne Festival. He took part in each of the early Aldeburgh Festivals, including in the premieres of Britten's operas ''Albert Herring'' and ''Noye's Fludde''. The composer conducted the Melos Ensemble in the first performance of his ''War Requiem'' in Coventry in 1962, and also in the first recording of it in 1963. Weil premiered the ''Suite'' for viola and cello by Arthur Butterworth with Cecil Aronowitz in 1951.〔(Works by Butterworth )〕 In the 1960s, he was cellist of the Cremona Quartet under leader Hugh Maguire, with Iona Brown as second violinist and Aronowitz as violist.〔(Obituary Iona Brown ) ''The Guardian'', Anne Inglis, 10 June 2004〕 In the Pro Arte Piano Quartet he played with Kenneth Sillito (violin), Aronowitz and Lamar Crowson (piano). In 1974, he became the first Professor of Chamber Music at the newly opened Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. Among the student groups he coached was the Brodsky Quartet. The institute regularly awards a Terence Weil prize to the best chamber music ensemble.〔(Terence Weil Memorial Competitions )〕 He retired to Cadaqués in 1985. 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「Terence Weil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
