Ferrier, Kathleen. (1912–1953)

Folks Songs, INSCRIBED to Walter Homburger

Rare signed LP set from the great contralto who died tragically young. Ferrier, age 38 at the time, has signed and inscribed one of her most celebrated recordings to noted Canadian impressario and manager (of Glenn Gould, among others), Walter Homburger: "For Hombie, with all good wishes and thanks for looking after me so beautifully in Toronto. Kathleen Ferrier March / 50." Signed on the inside front cover. 3 LPs included, as issued. Very uncommon.



Bruno Walter wrote of Ferrier “No summit of solemnity was inaccessible to her, and it was particularly music of spiritual meaning that seemed her most personal domain.” (4679)
