Eiluned Davies

Born in Walthamstow, London, the daughter of Welsh bard Owen Davies of Llanarth,[1] Davies won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music at the age of 15 (1929-1933) where her teachers included Gordon Jacob, C H Kitson and Kathleen Long.

She also took private piano lessons with Frida Kindler (1879–1964), a pupil of Busoni and the wife of composer Bernard van Dieren.

[2] Davies' first London piano recital took place in June 1936 at the Aeolian Hall,[1][3] and her first radio broadcast followed in April 1937.

[9] Davies' repertoire included Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Busoni and Bernard Stevens.

Davies recorded the complete solo piano works of Bernard van Dieren for the British Music Society in the 1980s.
