Maria Luisa Cantos


Gerald Hugh Tyrwhitt-Wilson, (the 14th Baron Berners) (Lord Berners) was born on 18 September 1883 at Apley Park, near Bridgnorth, Shrosphire, the son of Commodore the Hon. Hugh Tyrwhitt and Julia Mary Foster. He studied at Eton and was later in Dresden, Vienna, France, and Italy, focusing mainly on languages which would equip him for the diplomatic service. He served as honorary attaché in Constantinople and later in Rome, but on his elevation, relinquished these posts, returning to English and his inheritance, several country estates, and lived the rest of his life, ostensibly as a country gentlemen. This, however, was only on the surface. He was a man whose music drew the highest praise from Stravinsky, and whose not inconsiderable literary and painting skills were to make him "the versatile peer" in the national press, but it was as a composer that he wished to be remembered.
