Subj: [kl] Tusson and the Bullfinches

Tusson seems to have had an almost complete
monopoly on recording of clarinet solos at about the
turn of the last century, so must have been a player
of some calibre, but now he is completely
or nearly completely forgotten. My last message
about him provoked no responses.
Any information about him or ideas as to where
information about may be found would be welcome.
To jog the memory here are two lists of his recordings,
some others and anon
