Eric Parkin (24 March 1924 – 3 February 2020) was an English pianist.[1]
Parkin was born in Stevenage and attended Alleyne's Grammar School there.[2] He studied at Trinity College of Music with the Anglo-French pianist Frank Laffitte and with George Oldroyd . He also studied conducting with Charles Kennedy Scott and composition with Henry Geehl .[3] He began working in the 1940s as a cocktail pianist at The May Fair Hotel , making his classical debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1948 with a recital of Beethoven and Chopin.[4]
Parkin quickly became a frequent broadcaster on BBC Radio.[5] Having met the composer John Ireland he made his Proms debut playing the Ireland Piano Concerto in 1953, with Malcolm Sargent and the BBC Symphony Orchestra .[6] Although his musical interests spanned the Classical and Romantic periods, he became best known for his recorded performances and recitals of 20th-century British music, including works by William Baines , Arnold Bax , William Blezard , Frank Bridge , Alan Bush , Geoffrey Bush , Peter Dickinson , David Gow , Kenneth Leighton , Billy Mayerl , E J Moeran and Richard Stoker . Later in life he increasingly recorded French and American repertoire, including Poulenc , Roussel , Barber and Copland .[3] [7] He recorded more than 80 albums over his career from the early 1950s onwards, for Argo , Lyrita , Chandos , Priory and Unicorn .[8]
Parkin was a professor at Trinity College from 1945 to 1958 and from 1964 to 1967.[2] He then taught piano at Bulmershe College in Reading, Berkshire (later merged with Reading University ). He lived with his partner Rees Morgans for 57 years at Greengates Cottage in Watlington , Oxon.[9] Parkin died on 3 February 2020, aged 95.
