	Constant Lambert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Constant Leonard Lambert, (August 23, 1905 – August 21, 1951) was a British composer and conductor.
		Educated at Christ's Hospital and the Royal College of Music, Lambert was a prodigy, writing orchestral works from the age of 13, and at 20 received a commission to write a ballet for Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes (Romeo and Juliet).
		Lambert was famous in his day as a raconteur and, unusually for an Englishman, as an expert on many different arts, and on modern European culture.

		The modernist high jinks that Lambert found innately sympathetic, his enthusiasm for mixing diverse idioms, his pleasure in shocking the establishment, were all encouraged by Diaghilev, who also confirmed Lambert's belief that ballet was the form best suited to showing the whole parade of his talents.
		Lambert furthered his cause through his friendship with the Sitwells (he was involved in several public performances of Façade, Walton's musical background to Dame Edith's poems); through his journalism; and through the enormous amount of work he eventually did for Sadler's Wells ballet.
		Lambert once claimed that "the greatest English music has always been literary, in the best sense of the word, just as English poetry has always laid great stress on the purely musical value of sounds as apart from sense"; and it's true that his writing is exceptionally faithful to the mood of his friend's poem.

	Constancy of the Velocity of Light
		The possibility that the velocity of light, c, is not a fixed constant is reconsidered by statistical analysis of the historical measurements collected from four sources.
		The behavior of the atomic constants and the velocity of light, c, indicate that atomic phenomena, though constant when measured in atomic time, are subject to variation in dynamical time.
		Therefore Planck's constant, h, may be predicted to vary in proportion to 1/c as should the half-lives of the radioactive elements.

	Implications of a Non-Constant Velocity of Light
		Measurements on constants of physics which do not carry dimensions of time (seconds or 1/seconds; or powers thereof) are found to be truly fixed and invariant.
		If the "universal constants" are different at the position of supernova 1987A, for example, then the physics is different and an observer in that frame should be able to determine that he is in a unique position relative to any other frame of reference and vice-versa.
		He suggests that cDK may be acceptable if "Planck's constant is also changing in such a way as to keep the fine structure 'constant' constant." This is in fact the case as the 1987 Report makes clear.

	Classical Net Review - Lambert - The Last Recordings
		The sad, almost tragic life story of Constant Lambert is admirably recounted in the notes to this CD so this reissue of his last recordings at the early age of 46 is all the more poignant.
		I also enjoyed Lambert's Suppé readings, a brisk and engaging 'Pique Dame' and a splendidly uninhibited 'Morning Noon and Night in Vienna', this item almost reminded me of Boult's similarly effusive readings on a Pye disc reissued some years ago.
		The Façade was always a Lambert speciality, he was completely emphatic to Walton's delicate creation and this is indeed a definitive recording of the work.

	CD Spotlight
		This is a major event for Lambert enthusiasts, who have waited for years to hear the Piano Concerto he wrote at the age of only 19 but never completed.
		So now is the time to reconstruct Lambert's image based on a full knowledge of the early works thanks to this recording.
		But one does wonder if Lambert was partly responding to Walton's Sinfonia Concertante for two pianos, jazz band and orchestra which he completed in 1923 and then sadly destroyed.
