John Stanley wurde am 17. Januar 1712 geboren und war das älteste überlebende Kind von John und Elizabeth Stanley von der Londoner Gemeinde von St. Swithin im Stadtteil London Stone. Der Überlieferung zufolge erblindete er im Alter von zwei Jahren infolge eines häuslichen Unfalls mit einem zerbrochenen Porzellanbecken. Der Kupferstich nach einem verlorenen Ölportrait von Thomas Gainsborough stellt ihn in mittleren Jahren mit geschrumpften Augenhöhlen dar, doch möglicherweise blieb ihm etwas Sehkraft erhalten, denn er entwickelte sich zu einem fruchtbaren Komponisten, war allem Anschein nach zu einer aktiven Konzertkarriere befähigt und dirigierte umfangreiche Werke seiner Zeitgenossen wie zum Beispiel Händels Messias.
John Stanley was born on 17 January 1712, the eldest surviving child of John and Elizabeth Stanley of the London parish of St Swithin, London Stone. At the age of two he was supposedly blinded by a domestic accident involving a broken china basin; an engraving of a lost portrait of him in middle age by Thomas Gainsborough shows him with shrivelled eye-sockets, but it is possible that he retained some residual sight since he became a prolific composer and was evidently able to pursue an active concert career, often directing extended works by his contemporaries such as Handel’s Messiah.
'An attractive record' (Gramophone)
'Great sound and warmly recommended' (Fanfare, USA)
'The players are technically superb, but also play with a grace and lightness which are wholly uplifting' (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)
