I'm glad to see that some tribute has been paid to this great man. He was the one that was responsible for the revival of early music. He made the first lute in modern times and reconstructed ensemble pieces on authentic instruments for the first time as well. All the period instruments he made himself. Later he and his son Carl made recorders for sale to the public further expanding the interest in early music.

The Dolmetsch site refers to this film, and suggests that it was made in 1928. The details of the sections are: 1. Arnold Dolmetsch playing a clavichord 2. Arnold Dolmetsch playing a lute - Mabel Dolmetsch dancing 3. Rudolph Dolmetsch playing a triangular Dolmetsch harpsichord 4. Nathalie Dolmetsch playing a tenor viol 5. Recorder players (left to right: (front row) Mabel, Arnold, Leslie Ward, Rudolph: (back row) ?, ?, Carl, Nathalie) 6. Arnold Dolmetsch playing a clavchord.

Ojala ellos hubieran alcanzado a ver y escuchar los Consorcios de violas de Savall; la pasion San Mateo de Bach con Herreweghe; las Goldberg con Hantai, el Vivaldi de Biondi, el órgano por Koopman, el Handel de McCreesh... estarian fascinados y orgullosos.

Si Bach viera todo eso no se la creería.

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

[@MyYearsWithEarlyMusic]

Arnold Dolmetsch or his son, I'm not sure. The recording is anyhow quite ancient itself.

[@MyYearsWithEarlyMusic]

well, recorders, harpsichords and lutes for example?

[@MyYearsWithEarlyMusic]

I share your opinion completely!

[@MyYearsWithEarlyMusic]

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