HALLIS, Adolph : Let the Piano Speak

Pinecones Sound Productions, Johannesburg No Date (ca.1970)

A 30cm 33 1/3rpm long playing vinyl record. A fine copy in a fine pictorial sleeve as issued. Extremely scarce: Adolph Hallis (4 July 1896 – 1987) was a South African pianist, composer and teacher. Hallis was born in Port Elizabeth and travelled to England in his twenties, where he studied at the Royal Academy of Music; his teachers there included Tobias Matthay and Oscar Beringer. He made his debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1919, and after a wide-ranging European career settled back in South Africa in 1939, where he became a teacher at the University of the Witwatersrand. He died in South Africa in 1987. During his career Hallis premiered numerous works, including piano concertos by Alan Rawsthorne and Erik Chisholm. Despite his celebrity he made very few recordings.
