'In the lead up to four Adelaide Town Hall concerts (19th 22nd 24th
and 26th September, 1931) by Australian bass-baritone Peter Dawson and
Russian piano virtuoso Mark Hambourg; Dawson was billed as the
"World's greatest gramophone personality". The advertisement
continued: "There is probably no living artist who can sing a robust
song, a song of the sea or open air - a song of life, like Peter
Dawson ... He has been acclaimed with extraordinary success throughout
the English-speaking world, and is universally recognized as the
finest baritone ballad singer of the day."
'Melba's "Dawson tribute" disc is a buoyant, up-beat, nostalgic
concert; echoing parlour singalongs, whilst evoking Devon, Zummerset,
Plymouth, Jerusalem (The Holy City), old Burma (Myanmar), Ol' father
Thames, and diverse nameless British byways.'
- Howard Smith, writing in today's Music & Vision Magazine
