Felix Salmond

Felix Adrian Norman Salmond (19 November 1888 – 20 February 1952) was an English cellist and cello teacher who achieved success in the UK and the US.

His father Norman Salmond was a baritone, and his mother Adelaide Manzocchi was a pianist who had studied with Clara Schumann[citation needed].

The severely under-rehearsed performance which followed received scathing reviews, with Ernest Newman stating that "the orchestra made a public exhibition of its miserable self".

[4] He was highly regarded in America as a teacher, with pupils including Robert LaMarchina, Orlando Cole, Suzette Forgues Halasz,Tibor de Machula, Bernard Greenhouse, Leonard Rose, Daniel Saidenberg, and Alan Shulman.

In 1924, he appeared at Carnegie Hall in a well-reviewed piano trio with pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski and violinist Efrem Zimbalist.

[8] He had a broad taste in music for the cello, including works by contemporary composers such as Samuel Barber, Ernest Bloch and George Enescu (premiering two of his pieces).
