This one is possibly not so difficult.
Rich, yeah it's a bit of a give-away when you reply using quote...... juliusrontgen.nl/images/tuinzijdeGaudeamus.jpg  |

That's Rubinstein at the piano, so it must be the Rubinstein-Heifetz-Piatigorsky trio, from the occasion when they were filmed. A bit more Googling later to find out when and where!
Yes, the photo is featured on a re-issue CD, the works are listed and the date too   |

Gaudeamus Hoose? Julius Röntgen? The Dutch pianist and documentary maker Kees Wieringa lives in that house nowadays. He made a few recordings of music by the obscure Dutch composer Jacob van Domselaer. He played Van Domselaer's piano pieces many years ago in a museum that belongs to a friend of mine. |

I once stayed there for a few days myself, when the occupant was the late Walter Maas, founder of the Gaudeamus Foundation. It's hard to see from this photo, but the ground plan of the house is based on the shape of a grand piano. There are as few right angles inside the house as outside! |

no entries yet for this Who, what, when, where, why? ? There are clues in the photo. It's subject is obviously history, and somewhere with a looooooong history (see half-naked man). |

I don't have any clue what it is John W.
It looks like a cast of an opera after the show is finished.
I can see half naked man and a knight, some children. May be it is not cast of an opera, but a concert that combined many different performers.
I don't think it is right, but I see that people don't have any guesses.

Well I did give a clue, suggesting a very old place, so was the performance related to music written to celebrate the oldness of the place? So, which town in England considers itself the oldest?

I don't have a clue either. It looks a bit like the sort of thing that members of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment are required to get up to for their publicity stills but I can't identify anyone so that idea goes out of the window. Is it something like that but a different orchestra?

Glastonbury? Rutland Boughton's The Immortal Hour? ?
Or some amateur group having a hoot doing 1066 and All That?

Colchester claims to be Britain's oldest recorded town. This is according to the library.
I don't know what kind of celebrations were there. Am I right or who is?

You'll have to give us more clues, John. I wondered whether it was for a production of Howard Brenton's play The Romans in Britain. No, not really. Or perhaps an amateur company that didn't have many costumes and so had to use whatever they had for a production of The Mikado. No, not really either.

Hmm, I was hoping if someone did Yahoo Image search for 'Colchester oldest recorded town' it would bring up our image, but I tried and no. Ok, a piece of music was recorded, it's title has Colchester in it, but it's not a concerto  John W |
