Sir Henry Joseph WoodCH (3 March 1869 – 19 August 1944) was an English conductor best known for his association with London's annual series of promenade concerts, known as the Proms. He conducted them for nearly half a century, introducing hundreds of new works to British audiences.

Henry Wood, pictured here with his taller friend Rachmaninoff ‘neath a Monte Rio redwood, was Mr. Proms, conducting the famous London institution for almost fifty years, and with a mountainous repertoire extending from Mahler to Moszkowski, Ravel to Rubbra, Handel to Schoenberg and that doesn’t mean just Verklaerte Nacht. I’m tempted to say he conducted everything but Krszmaly’s Symphony of Silence, that being an hilarious invention of the great music critic Ernest Newman. He was handy with symphonies, concertos, marches, overtures and all manner of lollipops; he knew how to catapult a piece over the footlights, whatever its dimensions. His style was robust, direct, good-natured while never trivial; it had a healthy grace and imagination was prized. When some years ago I discussed oldtime conductors with Willy van den Burg who’d been Stokowski’s first cellist in the Philadelphia Orchestra around 1930 he likened Wood to Pierre Monteux for his versatility, dependability, his wonderful spirit.
