Majorie Thomas
This catalogue entry appears to refer to the British contralto Marjorie Thomas, here preserved under the product-tag spelling “Majorie Thomas.”
In the Pristine catalogue it is attached to Sargent’s Elgar recordings, including The Dream of Gerontius with Richard Lewis and John Cameron.
Thomas was associated with British concert and oratorio repertory, and the recording context places her squarely within that tradition.Read More
