Music from a 'Columbia History of Music'' 78 from the 1930s... Rudolph was the great family member - his playing is virtually in 'modern' style.

Thanks for your comment!

Ahh.. blind women and Gambas..what else could an ugly man ask for!

[ernststolz]

well, recorders, harpsichords and lutes for example?

[Stengo1888]

Apologies, the harpsichordist must be Rudolph. He played the keyboards but not sure whether Carl did as well.

Wasn't a fan of the English style of playing - prefer the Dutch, and Bruggen plays stuff on YouTube.

[Stengo1888]

The viol player is Cecile. Mabel is the woman dancing. Carl is the harpsichordist, In the recorder consort I think Carl is the one at the front row at the right. Rudolph must be one of the group but I'm not sure where. Haven't a clue who the others are - maybe relatives - possibly belonging to Arnold's previous two wives.

For further information on Dolmetsch see Margaret Campbell's book: Dolmetsch: the man and his work, University of Washington press (1975).

It is a family picture I would say. Cecile or Nathalie Dolmetsch. The boy must be Rudolph or Carl.

Sorry, I've just listened to it WITH sound & realised the question was about the sound recording....but I still wonder who the woman is playing the viol.
