Lionel Bradley in Covent Garden - 6 November, 1936

from Lionel Bradley Bulletin, 5 Nov 1936:

The "cold" audience is rather too apt to indulge in this indiscriminate hero worship whenever it has someone in the flesh. Hence all too often all soloists get the same (often excessive) applause unless they happen to have chosen a good work which the audience doesn't know.
