(MusicWeb Aug 2007)

Charles Villiers Stanford came from a well-heeled professional family in Dublin, the son of a leading Protestant lawyer. Indeed there were lawyers on both sides of the family. This was a cultured world, Stanford's father played the cello and sang, and the leading Dublin intellectuals of the day were constant visitors, providing a brilliant background against which the precocious young Stanford developed. He attended Henry Tilney Bassett's School in Dublin, where classical studies were the focus of teaching, and he learned piano, organ and violin, and studied composition with leading local musicians and with Arthur O'Leary in London.
