by THELMA REISS (violoncello) and HARRIET COHEN (pianoforte)
Relayed from Dartington Hall , Totnt
By technique and personality and a certain intensive beauty in her playing, Thelma Reiss has won her way into the front rank of our younger 'cellists. Our own critics have acclaimed her ; France, Holland, Norway, and Spain have all recognised her outstanding gifts. She was something of a child prodigy, for at the age of seven she was able to play the Goltermann concerto in A minor, and in her early 'teens won an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music.
Harriet Cohen comes from a musical family. Her father is a specialist in the military band and its music, and before she was twelve had taught his daughter how to score for full orchestra. Miss Cohen then went to the Royal Academy of Music and studied under Tobias Matthay and afterwards had a few lessons from Busoni. At the age of seventeen she played before Sir Henry Wood , and he engaged her for the Proms. Among the many distinguished artists with whom she has played are Casals, Tertis, and Sammons.
