Here's the English Contralto Astra Desmond singing two Songs from "Songs of the Hebrides" by the musicologist Marjory Kennedy Fraser The Bens of Jura - A Fairy Love Song from a 78 rpm shellac record released in 1941. in 1941, Desmond set down four sides – eight songs – of Marjorie Kennedy-Fraser’s “Songs of the Hebrides”. Here she was joined by the harpist Marie Korchinska. , Desmond made quite a speciality of these songs, which were hugely popular in their day. It would be interesting to know if Desmond really thought these pieces were, at an artistic level, a Scottish parallel to the Scandinavian songs she propagated so vigorously. Marjorie Kennedy-Fraser had actually collected the songs – using primitive recording equipment – from indigenous singers on the Hebrides. Astra Desmond CBE (10 April 1893 – 16 August 1973) was a British contralto of the early and middle twentieth century. Astra Desmond was born Gwendolyn Mary Thompson, in Torquay, England. She was educated at Notting Hill High School and Westfield College, where she was a classical scholar.[1] She studied singing with Blanche Marchesi (as did her colleague Muriel Brunskill) and Louise Trenton, and in Berlin with Ernst Grezebach and Coenraad V. Bos. Desmond's career was mostly in concert and recital, but she made some operatic appearances. A 1916 review of the Carl Rosa Opera Company described her as a new singer of great promise. Desmond made few commercial recordings: they include the first recording of Serenade to Music, under the baton of Henry Wood, and a series of recordings for Decca of songs by Purcell and Grieg;[12] she can be also briefly heard singing with Elsie Suddaby and Isobel Baillie in "To Heart Ceasing", recorded by EMI live from a Royal Command Performance in the 1930s.[13] There also exist several 'off-air' recordings (home recordings from radio broadcasts) of Desmond. These include substantial excerpts of her "calm and serene" interpretation of the Angel in The Dream of Gerontius (a 1935 performance in Manchester under Malcolm Sargent, also featuring Heddle Nash),[14] and a performance of Serenade to Music in the Royal Festival Hall, 1951, under the composer. ike many singers Desmond took up teaching later in her career (becoming Professor of Singing at the Royal Academy of Music) from 1947 to 1963.[9] but also wrote educational books on music. Desmond died in 1973 at the age of eighty.

No 1 Twilight Hills, & No 2 Wind Sprites Matthay was born in London in 1858 to parents who had come from northern Germany and were naturalised British subjects.[1] He studied at the Royal Academy of Music under Sir William Sterndale Bennett and also taught there from 1876 to 1925 as professor of advanced piano. With Frederick Corder and John Blackwood McEwen, he co-founded the Society of British Composers in 1905.[2] He founded a piano school in 1900 and soon became known for his teaching (known as the Matthay System) that stressed proper piano touch and analysis of arm movements. He published several books of technique, which brought him international recognition. Many of his pupils went on to define a school of 20th century English pianism, including York Bowen, Myra Hess, Clifford Curzon, Moura Lympany, Eunice Norton, Lytle Powell, Irene Scharrer, Lilias Mackinnon, Guy Jonson, Vivian Langrish and Harriet Cohen. He was also the teacher of Canadian pianist Harry Dean and English conductor Ernest Read. Matthay also composed a quantity of piano music but it is little known.[1] His wife Jessie née Kennedy, whom he married in 1893, was a sister of Marjory Kennedy-Fraser. She died in 1937.[1] Tobias Matthay died at High Marley Manor near Haslemere in 1945, aged 87.
