Urusla Strebi, daughter of the Lucerne lawyer Walter Strebi, grew up in the company of great musicians.

Her father was the brains behind the Lucerne Festival and the personal adviser to musicians with a Nazi-era past. The family’s home movies are fascinating, not least for glimpses of Dinu Lipatti, who did not have long to live.

Ursula married the brass ensemble founder Philip Jones and lived her adult life happily in London.
