Ronald & Zillah Castle’s Sweet Compulsion

The vast Zillah and Ronald Castle collection of early and unique instruments and music began in the 1930s and was kept in three adjoining villas in Newtown, Wellington until Zillah's death in 1997. Shelley Wilkinson looks at how their passion for collecting, their numerous radio broadcasts and tireless carting of a large harpsichord into the NZBS studio contributed much to the resurgence of interest in early music in New Zealand (RNZ)
