Happy Birthday Pastoral Guy

[Barbirollians]

Happy Birthday pastoralguy - cracking performance from Ida H I thought - I remember that Last Night more sadly for how terrible John Pritchard looked and sadly of course he died three months later .

It really is a great shame that more of her Proms performances have not been made available on disc considering how neglected such a great violinist was by the record companies.

I was sure there was an Ida H/CBSO/ Simon Rattle Tchaikovsky concerto but it must have been from somewhere else than the Proms . I remember coming home putting the radio on and thinking this is the best performance of this concerto I have ever heard !

One of my favourite violinists. I remember a wonderful performance of the Sibelius VC years ago when one friend and myself crept up into the little gallery at a tiny hall{YMCA ?]in London. Sargent and the LSO and straight run through, rather than a rehearsal.
We rushed down to thank her but she had gone, busy as always.

Thanks again for the birthday wishes.

Most of Ida's best recordings are from radio performances. There's a terrific Beethoven from Prague on Supraphone and an enterprising company have released a wonderful Bartok No. 2. I suspect that Ida fell foul of the record companies due to musical politics.

Great shame.

Yes a shame . I think that there was a suggestion that she was thrown over by EMI in the 1950s as David Bicknell married Gioconda de Vito and she was therefore their " lady violinist " from then on .

Then after the successful Sibelius,Britten and Walton in the 1970s the Elgar with Boult was coolly received and that was that .

It would be great to have some of her best radio recordings of the 1970s and 1980s in good sound - like that amazing Sibelius and Elgar at the Proms with Rattle
