See his entry in the Oxford DNB. For Gauntlett see the excellent article on the Semibrevity blog: Ambrose Gauntlett, forgotten gamba player and continuo cellist , beginning: Although Ambrose Gauntlett (1889 1978) spent most of his career as a full-time orchestral principal, he was the most sought-after continuo cellist and gamba player in the UK for many years. In his obituary, published in The Times, Sir Anthony Lewis mentions "his beautiful playing of the important 18th-century viola da gamba obbligato roles". Both items in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: Letter, 1 June 1972. Signed Tony and addressed in autograph to Dear Ambrose . He thanks him for participating in the concert, which he is sure will be remembered as one of the high points of the 150th Anniversary Celebrations . He continues: Sir Arthur Bliss was delighted with the performance of his Music for Strings, and may I say again how much I appreciated your invitation that I should conduct the remainder of the programme. Not only did he find this a privilege , but also a most satisfying experience . TWO (printed programme for Special Celebration Concert , 30 May 1972): 6pp, 12mo, stapled into wraps which are printed in black and red. Slight spotting on front wrap. Newspaper cutting from the Daily Telegraph ( Orchestrated appeal ) on blank verso of front wrap, at the head of the recto of which is written in pencil: A G s last public appearance (aged 82) . Gauntlett is listed among the 51 members of the orchestra. From the Ambrose Gauntlett papers.
