A Londoner, from a musical family, his father and uncle being violinists in London theatre orchestras, notably the Leicester Square Empire, though they had also played at la Scala, Milan, under Toscanini. Thus the young John was destined to be a string player, a specialist in British Music, and to have a love of Italian Opera.
