The Baraldi Trio - Mai Ramsay (soprano), Vivien Lambelet (soprano), Dorothy Lebish (contralto) - recorded a handful of sides for HMV in this period, though none lasted for long in the catalogue. The name Baraldi refers to the accompanying pianist, Ernesto Baraldi (1868/9-1939), who was almost certainly Dorothy Lebish's husband. The Trio members (and Baraldi himself) were regular performers on early BBC radio, though we can only trace only one record of them actually broadcasting together as The Baraldi Trio, on 4th January, 1929.
