In the first of twelve lunchtime concerts celebrating the rich history of performance at the Edinburgh International Festival, today's programme begins fittingly with one of the greatest names of the early years, contralto Kathleen Ferrier, with pianist Bruno Walter, who performed at the 1947 and 1949 Festivals, some folk songs from the North of England sung at the Ferrier centenary celebrations in 2012 and a Scots song recital from the very first Festival.
