A Recital for Two Pianofortes ETHEL BARTLETT and RAE ROBERTSON

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson were fellow students at the Royal Academy of Music, and their first efforts in playing music for two pianos which date from that time were not taken seriously. Indeed, they had been married for some years before they decided to give a concert of two-piano music. Even then, successful as the-concert was, they did not immediately realise that there was not only a potential and genuine appreciation for such performances, but also a considerable existing repertory of music written for a two-piano combination, without counting examples later to be written expressly for them by modern composers. Since then they have together toured England, Holland, France, Poland, Germany, Belgium, and America, and their reputation is such that the mere mention of two-piano music is inevitably associated in the mind with these Uvo fine artists.
