Extract

After the Edinburgh Festival Jast summer someone remarked ‘Now it will be no longer possible to plan any musical event of importance in Britain without first asking, what is Bing doing?’ The Festival, which took two years to plan, was the largest event of its type to be staged in the world. Though Rudolf Bing, its organiser, modestly gives credit to Glyndebourne and to Edinburgh for making the Festival possible, the fantastic onus of conception, planning, and organisation fell initially to Bing. That the festival was an unqualified success and will be repeated in 1948, is a tribute to Bing's unrivalled experience as a liaison agent between art and the people.
