[78-L] classical stuff

[David Lennick]

And these days, you can do a quick Google and find out who Irene Scharrer was. 
She was darned good, and I'm not sure whether she ever recorded any concertos 
or lengthy works, despite performing as late as 1958 and living to 1971.

And now I know a little more about her.
