Sir Sacheverell Sitwell (1897-1988) was a member of the famously talented Sitwell family ¿ the younger brother of Dame Edith Sitwell and Sir Osbert Sitwell. He was educated at Eton College and Oxford and served in the Grenadier Guards during the First World War. He and his siblings were a formidable force in artistic circles and Sacheverell became known for both his art and music criticism, as well as his writings on architecture. Cited in the BBC¿s 1986 Domesday project as ¿a leading authority on Mozart & Liszt¿, Sitwell¿s excellent books on the lives of composers are still consulted today.
