He studied the violin and composition at the RCM where a scholarship won in 1899 enabled him to work under Stanford for four years. He quickly made a professional reputation as an outstanding conductor and chamber music player.He was also a remarkable teacher though Britten was his only composition pupil. <br/><br/>"The isolation of English musical life from far-reaching developments abroad was an obstacle to the recognition of Bridge's later works. After his death his music fell into almost complete neglect though interest was subsequently revived.
