George Salisbury Eskdale (1897 - 1960) was born in Tynemouth at the mouth of the River Tyne on the North-East coast of England. Soon after his birth, the family moved to Greenock in Scotland. George was taught cornet by his father who was a bandmaster. He became a young prodigy, playing solos with various bands.
He was principal trumpet with London Symphony Orchestra from 1934 to 1956. From 1956 he played 3rd trumpet for a while.
George Eskdale died in London, January 1960.
The first recording of Haydn's Trumpet Concerto:
Thursday night, June 23, 1938, [Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto] was broadcasted by B.B.C. Soloist was George Eskdale. He played the second and third part, (Andante and Allegro). This broadcast was later made into a 78 rpm phonograph by Columbia Records. It is believed to be the first recording of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto.
Devoloping trumpets:
In the late 1930s, Eskdale worked closely with a craftsman at Boosey & Hawkes to produce two trumpet models - a C/Bb and an Eb/D. These instruments had a sligthly larger bore than the previous models used in symphony work. The mouthpipe was slightly conical.
Said about Eskdale:
"We used to get on very well. We would sometimes go for each other, but always laughed afterwards. We understood each other. He sometimes complained that I played faster than he did, and that I was sharp; but he sometimes jumped the gun and played even sharper! He was a unique player, he broke all the rules but he could always get away with it." Jock Ashby, principal trombone LSO.
