SAN 169 *PURCELL - DIDO & AENEAS **ECO & BARBIROLLI ++ SAMPLE COPY with rare personal letter from Barbirolli + This lp comes with a handwritten letter dated 3rd November 1966 from Barbirolli to R. Kinloch Anderson (the original owner), who wrote the liner notes for this record. The letter is a warm personal message of thanks from Barbirolli to Anderson for his contribution of the essay "The preparation and recording of Purcell's Dido & Aeneas". This is a superb historical document and the tone and sentiment of the letter gives one a beautiful snapshot of the working mind of a legendary talent.
Here is the content of the letter (a few words are hard to make out): ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Houston. Nov. 3
My Dear Ronnie
Ang?? have just sent me the Dido & we put it on with Evelyn the other day & she was really thrilled by it. This little note however is to tell you how deeply touched I was by your contribution in the accompanying folies. "On the preparation & recording". You have such a sensitive & deeply musical understanding of what I try to do that moves me ? and I am truly grateful for it. Bless you. Hope all is well. Ever John. The new Hall is really magnificent in every way. Particularly, lovely warm & in key notes sound. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
