Setright came from a family of mechanical engineers, studied law and hated it, and was a prodigy on jazz clarinet.
His interest in engineering led him to an unparalleled career as an automotive journalist, but along the way as a singer, he co-founded the Philharmonia Chorus in 1957.
In 1980, tragedy struck. His opera-singer wife killed herself. In reaction, Setright embraced Lubavitcher orthodoxy, and it is from that standpoint that he endorsed Elgar's grandest work.
