- Lance_Dossor abstract "Lance Dossor (14 May 1916 – 3 December 2005) was a British-born concert pianist and teacher who emigrated to Australia. He was born Harry Lancelot Dossor in Weston-super-Mare, United Kingdom, the third child of a jeweller who was also a distinguished amateur tenor. He was educated at Seaford College and matriculated at the University of London. In 1932 he obtained an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music where he studied piano with Herbert Fryer and composition with Herbert Howells. In 1936 he was awarded the Medal of the Worshipful Company of Musicians, given only every three years to the most outstanding student. He won the 1936 Franz Liszt Prize at the Vienna International Piano Competition, and in the following year the Sonata Prize and overall Fourth Prize in the 1937 International Chopin Piano Competition. In 1938 he was awarded fourth prize in the Ysaye Competition in Belgium - the first three places going to Emil Gilels, Moura Lympany and Yakov Flier. He later recounted the tale that, while he was still a student, he obtained entry to a rehearsal of one of Sergei Rachmaninoff's concerts in London. He was introduced to Rachmaninoff afterwards by the British pianist Cyril Smith as " ... a very promising young pianist who has recently been successful in the Chopin prize". Rachmaninoff responded in his heavy Russian accent "Ah, but who were the judges?".During the Second World War, Lance Dossor served in the Royal Artillery in the Middle East, Italy and Germany, where, because of health problems, he was transferred to ENSA to help provide concerts of classical music for the services.After the war, he became a member of the Royal College of Music's teaching staff and resumed his performing career (solo recitals, concertos and chamber music) playing with the leading British Orchestras under the batons of Sir John Barbirolli, Sir Adrian Boult, Sir Malcolm Sargent, Rafael Kubelík, Nikolai Malko and many others. He was a soloist for the Royal Philharmonic Society, the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts and in 1950 was invited to Israel for ten performances of the Brahms Second Piano Concerto with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1947 he replaced Dinu Lipatti, who had been taken ill prior to his first London concert.In 1953 he accepted a three-year appointment as principal teacher of piano at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, University of Adelaide from 1953, a post in which he remained until his retirement in 1979. Lance Dossor was well known in Australia as a soloist and also in chamber music, notably in an 18-year partnership with expatriate British cellist James Whitehead. Together with the violinist Ladislav Jasek they performed as the Elder Trio. He also performed in a piano duo with Romola Costantino and served as president of the Adelaide Branch of the Australian Society for Keyboard Music for a number of years. His refined sense of colour was used to exquisite effect in his performances of Chopin, while his affinity with the Russian repertoire was revealed in his greatly admired performances of Rachmaninoff. His impact on the musical life of Australia, and Adelaide in particular, was considerable, both through his performances and his numerous students. He was associated with all the Australian state orchestras and took part in festivals in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide. He did not leave many recordings, as he felt that a recording was only how he had performed on a particular day, and not necessarily the best performance that he could give. The ABC recorded a number of his concert broadcasts, but few were issued on record. Lance Dossor had very decided ideas on music. He loved Schubert and Brahms, but had no patience with Bruckner. His ideal composer was Bach. He said "If I had to make do with only one composer for the rest of my life, it would have to be Bach. His works are pure music". In 2003, the University of Adelaide gave him a Distinguished Alumni award "in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the university and to his profession as performing artist and teacher."Although officially retired, Lance Dossor carried on teaching part-time and occasionally performing until 1999, when increasing deafness forced him to give up. He died in Adelaide at the age of 89.".
