Photos of Composers/other Musicians!

[Pabmusic]

merc's #185 ishows Henry Wood (seated middle) directly in front of RVW with the 16 soloists taking part in the premiere of the latter's Serenade to Music. (If they'd also taken a photo at the time of the performance itself (as opposed, I suspect, at the time of the recording) they could have included Rachmaninoff!)

And what a good picture!

I wouldn't mind making this smaller, but I don't know how.

Percy Grainger?

Right in one! How did you guess?

It most certainly is. I could have chosen the front view, you know (there is one). Very Nordic.

We can see the faces of RVW, UVW and Gerald Finzi - I presume that's Joy and Christopher Finzi with their backs to us?

Almost. The very tall lady is Joy Finzi (she and Gerald make a slightly comic pair - I didn't meet him, but she was very tall even in the 1980s, when she was very old). The boy is the younger son, Nigel.
