KATE WINTER (Soprano);
PERCY MANCHESTER (Tenor) ; PEGGY COCHRANE (Violin)
WE remember the name Litolff as that printed on one of the first comprehensive and cheap editions of classical music. It was started by the son of the Litolff whose Overture we are to hear, and who, after leading a roving life for some years, settled in Brunswick, and began music publishing.
The elder Litolff was renowned in his day as a pianist. His rank as a composer is not so high, though his Concert Overtures (of which Robespierre is the best known) have a good deal of excellent melodrama in them.
