Madam, - Could I remind Tony Williams ( An Irishman's Diary, May 26th) that the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra gave a much-lauded performance of The Dream of Gerontiusin the National Concert Hall at the end of March.
In putting this on the record, I in no way dispute his contention that Our Lady's Choral Society has been the keeper of the Elgar flame in Ireland. - Yours, etc,
DONAL KELLY, Flower Grove, Killiney Co Dublin.
