The beloved British composer writes a three page letter to a colleague, Leslie Bridgewater offering to help him publicize his concerto, 12 July, 1943. The White Gates Dorking July 12, 1943 Dear Mr. Bridgewater, Of course I should like to see your concerto very much & if I can be of any help to proffer it. Bit it seems a shame to hurry a busy man like you all the way to Dorking. However, I have to be in London next Thursday and shall be free from 11”00 ‘til 12:30. My appointment is at 12:30 on Argyll Street. How would it be if we met at the Streeter Studios (Hanover Street) at 11:00 ( if pressed I have time enough) or earlier if you can 10:30 is more convenient. Yours truly, R. Vaughn-Williams Bridgewater, primarily a pianist, conductor and well known composer of film music, operetta and music for the stage and the BBC wrote a piano concerto in the midst of World War II. The work received it’s premier in 1947 with Iris Loveridge at the keyboard and the composer conducting. The pair also made a recording of the work on the Paxton label. |
