Studied at Oxford and also in Berlin and Vienna. Was known as a writer of incidental music for plays and films. His most famous composition, the so-called Warsaw Concerto, was written for the film Dangerous Moonlight (1941) became very poular. He did not hold it in high regard.

(contributed by Mike Honig <MRHONIGaol.com>)

Addinsell scored the music for the Alistair Sim version of "A Christmas Carol", often considered the best adaptation of the Dickens story.
