Radio 4 right now (3:00 to 3:30) for a history of early recording.


Excellent programme - especially the 'Caruso' episode. Thanks for the heads
up!

Are you aware that Gaisberg was and still is (after a fashion) a neighbour
of yours?

From the Wiki:

"Gaisberg retained his American citizenship to the end, and was a life-long
bachelor.[2] He died at his home in Hampstead in 1951 at age 78 and was
buried in Hampstead Cemetery in West Hampstead."

(Take him a little bunch of flowers, why don'tcha? :-)
