THE GOLDEN AGE'

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

presented by Susan Strong
The object of this series is to bring to the microphone some of the old singers of the Golden Age who are still with us, not to sing of course, but to tell us something of their great contemporaries who have passed away. Records made by their contemporaries in their prime will then be played.
Last week F. H. Grisewood told listeners something about the living nightingales who are to broadcast these little talks. The star to come to the microphone today is a dramatic soprano who far many years appeared in leading Wagnerian rôles as well as in many Italian operas. Susan Strong was a pioneer in singing the difficult excerpts from Wagner all over the British Isles.
