Delia Ruhm obituary

My mother, Delia Ruhm, who has died at the age of 89, was a flautist with a number of leading British orchestras and chamber music ensembles.

She was born in Berlin to Jewish parents. Her father, Ernst Ruhm, was a lawyer and her mother, Hilde Isaac, was a well-known soprano in Germany who, when the family moved to Britain, regularly broadcast and gave recitals.
