Opera loses world-class tenor

All members of the Rhinegold Towers were saddened by the news of Philip Langridge’s death from cancer earlier this month at the age of 70. Making appearances on opera stages across Europe and America, he was closely associated with the works of Birtwistle and Janáček. However, it is perhaps his leading roles in the operas by Benjamin Britten which gained him the highest level of recognition.

There are many fantastic performances of Philip available on YouTube and the many CDs released during his career. We have selected a few of our favourites for the Barlines Blog.
