Terence Judd

In 1967, aged 10, he won the National Junior Pianoforte Competition, and came to the attention of Eileen Joyce, who supported and encouraged him.

Known particularly for his championship of virtuosic romantic works, above all the music of Franz Liszt, he brought a characteristic exuberance and clarity of expression to his performances; and his recordings bear witness to that.

[4] Shortly before he was due to embark on a six-concert tour of the Soviet Union, Judd left his parents' Brondesbury Park home in north-west London after Sunday lunch on 16 December 1979, telling them he was going for a walk.

[6] At the coroner's inquest, his general practitioner testified that he had treated Judd for depression in February 1979.

[7] Earlier in his life, Judd had suffered a nervous breakdown and spent several months at a clinic in north London, where he received ECT.
