Songs sung by Elsie Suddaby (soprano)
Weep you no more Blackbird's song
When we two parted Dream Pedlary To Blossoms
From a City Window
When the dew is falling
My heart is like a singing bird
Elsie Suddaby conies from Yorkshire. She began her musical career as a pianist, winning the Gold Medal of the Associated Board, and then secured a scholarship at the Leeds School of Music where she studied singing under Dr. Bairstow.
