Brian Rayner Cook (born 17 May 1945) was an international opera, concert and recital singer (baritone). He retired early after a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. He was a frequent performer of British choral and vocal music, including works by Edward Elgar; Ralph Vaughan Williams; William Walton; Frederick Delius.[1] Alan Blyth, in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians[2], commends his "warm, flexible, sympathetic baritone which he uses with equal success in oratorio and songs, in both of which his range of expression is considerable".

Early Life and Education

[edit]

Rayner Cook was born in London.[1] He read music at Bristol University, where he developed his interests as an organist, conductor and singer. After graduating from Bristol, he studied at the Royal College of Music, where he finally focused on singing. In 1969, he was awarded a Kathleen Ferrier Memorial Scholarship.[3] Privately, he studied interpretation with Helga Mott and vocal technique with the British tenor Alexander Young.[4][5] He also studied conducting with Sir Adrian Boult.

Career

[edit]

Rayner Cook's recital debut was in 1967, and in 1968 he sang with the Glyndebourne Festival Chorus. [1][4][5]. His first London major concert appearance as a soloist was in 1969, conducted by Sir John Barbirolli, and this was broadcast live from the Royal Albert Hall.[1][6]

His UK performances included both choral works and song recitals. He appeared at the Worcester Three Choirs Festival in 1972, performing in John McCabe's Voyage.[1] That same year, his concert work took him to Italy and Belgium.[1] Rayner Cook made his debut at the Proms in 1973[7], and was a frequent broadcaster with the BBC.[1][4] The BBC archives list 298 of his broadcasts.[6] He was a soloist in both the First Night of the Proms (1977, Vaughan Williams' Serenade to Music, conductor Andrew Davis[7][8]) and the Last Night of the Proms (1980, Delius's Sea Drift under the direction of Sir Charles Mackerras. [9][10]) Performances included, for example, works by Elgar; Vaughan Williams;[4] Walton's dramatic cantata Belshazzar's Feast[11]; Mendelssohn's Elijah[7]; Havergal Brian.[5][12][13]

Rayner Cook made his professional solo operatic debut in 1974[1] in a Handel Opera Society production of Ariodante. Over the course of his career, Rayner Cook frequently worked with contemporary British composers, including two Masters of the Queen's Music, Malcolm Williamson and Peter Maxwell Davies. He was a long-term guest soloist with the contemporary music ensemble the Fires of London.[5][14]

He took part in some notable premieres and staged productions, including:

Rayner Cook discussed Havergal Brian's vocal writing directly with the composer himself, which is why Malcolm MacDonald explicitly highlights Rayner Cook's performances in his writings as the primary "authoritative" interpretations of the repertoire[35], stressing the historical accuracy of Rayner Cook's delivery.[36] MacDonald also states that Rayner Cook 'has sung for such legendary conductors of a now-past era as Sir John Barbirolli and Sir Adrian Boult, alongside contemporaries like Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Peter Pears, Ernst Haefliger, Janet Baker and Galina Vishnevskaya'.[37]

Mary Plumstead composed A Grateful Heart using a poem by George Herbert for Rayner Cook's wedding in 1974.[38][39]
