		A few years later Kathleen was to marry Florence’s brother Bert, who by this time was working in a bank in Silloth, Cumberland.

		iss Kathleen Ferrier, a new singer of remarkable talent, was heard yesterday in the Houldsworth Hall, Manchester.

	Granta: 'Klever Kaff' by Ian Jack
		Kathleen Ferrier is the best-loved British singer of the twentieth century.
		Standing on the pavement, I looked at the view Kathleen Ferrier would have had, from age one to age twenty-one, as she was jiggled on her father's shoulder, or ran to school, or set off every morning to work as a switchboard girl at the Blackburn telephone exchange.
		So, watched by the Hetheringtons' three-year-old son, Kathleen sewed quickly and with a nice final flourish, at which point the boy remarked ('with respect and surprise in his voice' writes Winifred Ferrier): 'Clever Kaff!' Perhaps because this is a childish story, it appealed to me as a child when I first skipped through the book.

		Personal note: if this post caught your attention and you're unfamiliar with Ferrier, check out Ferrier's performance in Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde (a work completed shortly before Mahler's death, a work that he had begun to compose in the summer of 1907 right after his beloved elder daughter had died).
		I picked up "Letters and Diaries of Kathleen Ferrier" as well as a deal Amazon had running for both the Mahler performance you mentioned as well as a compilation CD.

	KATHLEEN FERRIER What is Life? [CF]: Classical Reviews- July 2001 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		There is a generous supply of 22 tracks of the incomparable Ferrier whose voice never fails to melt this reviewer's heart (nor the flbird in the tree outside my open window apparently), whether she is singing folksong, Lieder, oratorio or opera - all of which forms are covered on this disc.
		Ferrier's career lasted a tragically brief time before her death from breast cancer in October 1953, barely ten years in fact.
		Her audition with the London agents Ibbs and Tillett on 9 July 1942 at Sargent's recommendation after she sang for him in a Manchester hotel a few months before, was the trigger for a packed concert schedule which took her all over the world, but made her a special favourite in Britain.

		Kathleen Ferrier, contralto; London Philharmonic Male Choir and Orch/Clemens Krauss; John Newmark and Phyllis Spurr, pianists; Max Gilbert, viola
		In a career of only 11 years before she succumbed to cancer at the age of 41, Ferrier became a legend, in part because she defied Walter Legge’s attempts at EMI in 1944-45 to mould her interpretations, and switched to London/Decca in 1946.
		But, truth to tell, it was the memory of Ferrier – without documentation at hand – that served me as a benchmark for more than 40 years.

		Ferrier and Baillie first met in 1941 when they sang Messiah.
		Her Handel was always impressive; she may privately and saucily have mocked her own perceived portentous delivery of some arias but the Handel-Somervell Come to me, soothing sleep has always been and remains a favourite of mine for its beautiful gravity.
		These discs have been something of a lacuna for Ferrier admirers and they will be pleased to make their acquaintance and savour their charm.
