Wigmore Hall Recital 4 December 1935

 

Accomplished performer

Guirne Creith was an accomplished pianist and string player.

Her piano recitals at the Wigmore Hall were critically acclaimed by the press and in a BBC broadcast of her violin sonata, she took the piano part while Albert Sammons played the violin.

As a string player during the 1920s, she frequently played under the baton of Sir Henry Wood.

The only known extant recording of Guirne Creith as a pianist is of her playing Bach/Busoni Chaconne in D minor. Remarkable playing but sadly the recording itself is of poor quality.
