Ernest Warburton

Ernest Warburton

Ernest Warburton (June 10, 1937 in Irlam, England – August 7, 2001 in London) was a noted musicologist who specialized in the music of Johann Christian Bach. His efforts resulted in the publication from 1984 to 1999 of "The Collected Works of Johann Christian Bach" in 48 volumes.

Warburton was also an executive with BBC Radio, serving as Head of Music Programmes (1977-1982) and Editor of Music for BBC Radio 3 (1982-1986) before transferring to the BBC World Service. During this period, he revived many obscure operas, such as Wagner's "Die Feen" and "Rienzi" and Puccini's "Le Villi."

As general editor of "The Collected Works of Johann Christian Bach," Warburton not only edited a share of the music, but wrote out the scores printed in the edition in his own calligraphy.
