One of the most important reasons why Ernest Bradbury was held in high esteem was his ability to write for the non-music-lover as well as for musicians and the musical public. A soloist whom he had gone to hear through ice and snow played Grieg, it seems "like an icy north wind".. On Saint-Saëns "At heart England is neither Protestant nor Catholic (like the Germanic or Latin races). England is a Biblical country and the standing of the Old Testament in English religious life has almost the standing it has with the Jews. Hence, the appeal of Elijah, Israel in Egypt, Solomon.." He remarks on César Franck’s "inability to distinguish between the organ loft and the confessional" in composition. Another composition he finds "all apple pie and glass splinters"
I commend to readers the Latin pronunciation article (15.2) in the light of the type of building used and the ear of the audience and singer. Also the article 8.2. in which Dr.Herbert Thompson’s great book of timings of what he heard played between Jan.1908-1944 is recorded. This book was given to my husband by Edward Maude, who received it from HT himself. As I write (Jan.1999) this is with Mrs Susanne Sheard, 7 Bark Lane, Addingham, Ilkley, W.Yorks LS29 ORA but hopefully will soon be either in my husband’s or Dr.Thompson’s archive.
Special events in 1958 were hearing in the flesh Hindemith and Stravinsky conducting; the Hallé centenary; the premiere (programme included) of Vaughan-Williams" 9th Symphony., and throughout, the development of the long-playing gramophone record and the rise in record production.
Thought-provoking matter is on whether there is too much music., there is little preparation for attending its performance and not enough reverence. My husband also observes the sad truth that a critic calling a conductor a fool or worse for wrecking a masterpiece may be sued for libel; the conductor who has ruined the work ,‘s 1'mUi^nd may well become an idol. (Toscanini would address errant orchestral players as "Assassin !")
