I started a thread once on the Composer as Conductor. It may have been on this forum but it may have been elsewhere ???
Elgar, Vaughan William, Bliss, Rubbra, Walton, Lennox Berkeley, Alwyn, Tippett, Daniel Jones, George Lloyd, Britten, Arnold, Maxwell Davies, Macmillan.........all spring to mind as British composers whom conducted their own music (and certainly in Britten's case other composers' music) with varying degrees of success. Britten was obviously an example of a composer whose readings of his own music are quite superb.
....and Sir Arnold Bax springs to mind as one who, having been forced by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford to conduct an early piece of his own, vowed never to conduct again ;D
