OTTOLINE FORSHAW (Violin)
WINIFRED BURY (Pianoforte)
One of the foremost violinists of Franco in the first part of the eighteenth century, who had a big influence on his own and following generations by grafting something of Italian grace and dignity on the French manner, Jean Baptiste Senaille was a real Parisian. His father was one of the famous 'twenty-four violins of the King,' and after winning successes and distinction in Italy, where he outshone the native artists on their own ground, he settled in his native city as a member of Louis XV's band.
ALFRED MOFFAT, whose name appears often on programmes as arranger of old music, has done a good deal more than the word 'arranged' at all adequately describes. It is not too much to say that he has re-discovered a whole school of mediaeval music which, until he unearthed it, had been neglected, and practically lost, for generations.
