Born in Salisbury on 27 April 1939, English pianist Hamish Milne studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and later in Italy with Guido Agosti.
In the 1970s, Milne was the first pianist to offer a complete survey of the piano music of Russian composer Nikolai Medtner since the composer had made his own recordings. Milne also taught at the Royal Academy of Music.
Hamish Milne died on 12 February 2020, aged eighty.
