Wiki:
Campoli was born in Rome in 1906[1] where his father taught the violin at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia. His mother was a retired concert performer. After he and his family moved to England in 1917, he made his professional debut in a recital at the Wigmore Hall in 1923. He toured with such singers as Dame Nellie Melba and Dame Clara Butt. Although he appeared in the standard repertoire with symphony orchestras, he also pursued a career in light music with his Salon Orchestra and the Welbeck Light Quartet. He appeared at a Prom concert in 1938. During World War II he gave numerous concerts for Allied troops. After the war, he had extended tours of Europe, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Australia, and continued his work with the BBC, eventually achieving over 1,000 radio broadcasts. He made his American debut in 1953, playing Lalo's Symphonie espagnole with the New York Philharmonic under George Szell. in 1955 he gave the first performance of Sir Arthur Bliss's Violin Concerto, which was written for him. In 1956 he twice toured the Soviet Union.
