Sargent was born into a family which had dwelled in the town of Stamford in South Lincolnshire for over five centuries.
At 16 Sargent took the Associateship diploma of the Royal College of Organists, and was sent as an apprentice to the organist of Peterborough Cathedral.
Despite is extraordinary professional success, Sargent never lost touch with his rural roots (he in fact founded a Symphony Orchestra in Leicester), and his down to earth attitudes to music came as a breath of fresh air to many listeners tired of the weary, pedantic approach of many serious musicians.

However, eyebrows may well be raised at Sargent’s controversial (and dramatically unconvincing) lengthening of the chorus’s final chord in the scherzo (and whence, for that matter, the extra cymbal clash at 2'02'' in the opening movement?).
Sargent also presides over a strong performance of the Fourth Symphony, emanating from a 1963 Promenade Concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
Sargent brings a distinctively dapper, well-sprung elegance to both the scherzo and finale.

 SIR MALCOLM SARGENT
Sir Malcolm Sargent's interest in Gilbert and Sullivan goes back to his school days when, at the age of fourteen, he accompanied rehearsals for an amateur production of "The Gondoliers" at Stamford.
Sir Malcolm conducted for the 1926 and 1927 seasons, and subsequently in 1929 when the Savoy Theatre was rebuilt, in 1951 for the Festival of Britain season, in 1961 at the end of the copyright, and again in 1963.
Those who were fortunate enough to work with him realise his tremendous capacity for first-class organisation; never a moment was wasted at his rehearsals, and at the end of either a rehearsal or a performance one felt that one had been doing some-thing really worth while.

 Schnabel plays BEETHOVEN
It has never ceased to puzzle me that Schnabel certified Malcolm Sargent to conduct what was, after all, the first complete recording of Beethoven's piano concertos.
In any case it predated a good but not comparably probing remake with the James Levine and the Chicago Symphony (which had already played a Solti-led set of the concertos with Vladimir Ashkenazy).
I confess a fondness, too, for Wilhelm Kempff's DGG recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic, although he insisted on playing alien cadenzas in place of Beethoven's, and made no complaint about Ferdinand Leitner as his conductor, in many ways a German counterpart of Malcolm Sargent (without the carnation).

I was especially intrigued by the second dance entitled A Trip to Italy it is as though the Cock of the North is meeting Respighi's The Birds; and by Carleton House which seems to transport the dancing to the Tyrol.
Sir Malcolm Sargent is remembered as a distinguished conductor especially by older British Promenade Concert enthusiasts, yet his An Impression on a Windy Day shows that he had considerable skills as a composer.
This is highly pictorial music, supremely evocative; Sargent vividly captures the atmosphere of a wild, blustery day with music that reminds one of Mendelssohn while the more romantic elements recall Eric Coates.

 Teri Noel Towe's George Frideric Handel Pages: A Letter from Sir Malcolm Sargent in Defense of his Performing Edition ...
Because, thanks in major part to the patience, influence, and mentorship of Pablo Casals, William H.

I write of Sir Malcolm Sargent's 1955 recording of his, for lack of a better expression, "performing edition" of Israel in Egypt, which has recently been re-published on a single CD, in a very well engineered transfer, by Dutton Laboratories (catalogue no.: CDLX 7045).
Of course, the Sargent Israel in Egypt is not a recording that will satisfy those who are unswerving and unbending in their commitment to HIP dogma, but, nonetheless, I hope that those who normally would avoid this performance as though it were dioxin will give it at least a single, open-eared listening.
