Almanac

July 12

1861 Anton Arensky – Russian composer, pianist and music professor (d.1906); among his students were Alexander Scriabin, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Alexander Gretchaninov.

1885 George Butterworth – English composer (d.1916); died during the Battle of the Somme and so joins the Frenchman Albéric Magnard, the Spaniard Enrique Granados, and the German Rudi Stephan as possibly the greatest losses to music from the First World War.

1934 Van Cliburn – American pianist (d.2013); achieved worldwide recognition in 1958 at the age of 23, when he won the first quadrennial International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow at the height of the Cold War; his 1958 RCA recording with Kirill Kondrashin of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 was the first album by a classical artist to sell more than 1 million copies.

1942 Richard Stoltzman – American clarinet virtuoso (76 years old); still the best-known clarinetist who plays primarily classical music.

1972 Leon McCawley – English pianist (46 years old); has recordings of music by Samuel Barber, Beethoven and Schumann, along with a world premiere recording of the complete piano works of Hans Gál.
