Myra Hess, a pianist in the front rank of British artists, is bearing without other support the whole programme of this, the fifth B.B.C. Chamber Concert of the present series. Few artists, British or European, could carry the honours of the evening with better right and with more distinction. Miss Hess's début was made at Queen's Hall, under Beecham, in 1907, and from that moment it was recognised that a very fine pianist, though as yet little more than a girl, had definitely arrived. The early critics were right; she quickly took her place as a master pianist both in this country and abroad—particularly in America, where she is sure of a great welcome every time she returns there.
Myra Hess was born and musically educated in London. London has her affection, and Londoners reciprocate that feeling on every possible occasion.
