An Original Musical Programme for Handel's Messiah given in Tottenham 3 April 1949, signed on the inside page by Isobel Baillie and two of the other soloists in the concert, Heddle Nash and Norman Lumsden. Dame Isobel Baillie, DBE 1895-1983, née Isabella Douglas Baillie, was a Scottish soprano. She made a local success in Manchester, where she was brought up, and in 1923 made a successful London debut. Her career, encouraged by the conductor Sir Hamilton Harty, quickly developed, with breaks in the first years for vocal study in Milan. Baillie's career was almost wholly as a concert singer: she only once acted in an opera production on stage. She was associated above all with oratorio, becoming well known for her many performances in Handel's Messiah, Haydn's The Creation, Mendelssohn's Elijah and the choral works of Elgar. Size is 255mm x 155mm. Condition is good. Edges lightly rubbed. Folding creases and light marking. More images can be taken upon request. Ref16866. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 024345
