The Englishman Constant Lambert (1905-51) was a busy conductor, especially of ballet, but also a gifted composer and writer of music. And even so, other Romeo ballets (with one or two scores commissioned, others simply borrowed) have been created to composers as various as Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, Delius, and Constant Lambert, not to mention Claus Schall, who wrote the music for Vincenzo Galeotti's version for the Danes in 1811. |
