GUIDE TO THE ERNEST BRADBURY ARCHIVE 1961 "Sir John has the right age and temperament. He can mirror the sentient loveliness o f this rare music, yet keep it free from cloying sentiment; he traces its inner lines as delicately as nature traces veins on a leaf and so shows the thin but unifying forces of Delius’ art - for Delius is not really a composer of the blurred image." Thus wrote Ernest Bradbury of Delius’ On Hearing the First Cuckoo., vindicating, if such be needed, the decision to make an archive of these writings, «,, Time has edged far enough forward now for us to catch our breath reading that he heard Hindemith and Stravinsky conducting "in the flesh" which in time will doubtless seem more awesome still..^arguments about not spending allocated local authority funds on music and over-reliance on the familiar might have been written last night. <• Once again I have not, regrettably, been able to credit (though my husband usually did) the invaluable work of producers and designers. Karajan is listed under K not V. Records and Music & Musicians articles appear in their month at the end of that month, records designated R. Music & Musicians entries (M M ) are in Miscellaneous only so it is advisable to check this section. The following (contents not alas listed) I hope the Brotherton will have photocopied from the Yorkshire Post by the time you read this; because of editioning dates and page numbers may vary slightly. 7.12.61 Combined Orchestras from Manchester (Halle & BBC Northern, Bruckner 9) 61—(page 7) Z effirelli charmn at Glyndcbournc ( L ’Elisir d?Am cTc): 25.10.61 (page 5) Leeds Town Hall, Royal Liverpool Phil.

Ernest Bradbury did a partial selection of 1961 events though the Leeds Triennial Festival must rank possibly the highest from a broader perspective. Where venues are omitted from the text I have presumed or left blank. Other writers’ work and his on other subjects, as at the Edinburgh Festival, is unlisted, at the end. For errors and omissions I apologise.. Please bring these to the librarian’s attention.
