Una Bourne - Australian Recording Pioneer, Hmv Recordings (1

Australia seems to have produced more than its fair share of pianists in the early days of recording, with Percy Grainger, William Murdoch and Eileen Joyce all being mainstays of the 78 rpm catalogue. To their ranks we should add Una Bourne, a stalwart of the acoustic period of recording. She excelled in what we might now call ‘salon music’ and character pieces, as can be seem from her recorded repertoire. (APR)
