Notes
Satina indicated that this concert was part of the ‘International Celebrity Series’. Sources indicate that Rachmaninoff was in pain during the concert (see Bertensson and Leyda, p. 261, and the second attached review), and that the following concerts advertised for Hanley on November 25 and Cambridge on November 27 were cancelled. Satina had raised doubts about these two later concerts, noting that they were not included by Rachmaninoff in his 'red notebook'. A review of the concert in Leicester on November 21 notes that Rachmaninoff was suffering from lumbago. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
