The cellist whoÌýenthralled the nation with herÌýnightingale duet

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 ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ in 1924 to do the first live broadcast of birdsong from her garden.

Jenni is joined by Patricia Cleveland Peck the author of a new play, The Cello and The NightingaleÌýwhich has just received its premiere in York, and theÌýactress Brigit Forsyth, whoÌýplays Beatrice Harrison.

The Cello and The Nightingale isÌýat YorkÌýTheatre Royal from 14 May to 5 June
