She was the woman who captured the imagination of Elgar with her peerless cello interpretations and enthralled the entire nation with rather an unusual kind of duet – one not performed with other musicians but with a nightingale. We find out tomorrow why she persuaded the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú in 1924 to do the first live broadcast of birdsong from her garden.
