John Lanchbery

[Alexandra]

I've copied this over from Links:

John Lanchbery, conductor, orchestrator, and arranger of ballet music, died yesterday at his home in Melbourne, Australia.

• The New York Times
  
• The Guardian
  
• The London Times
  

----------------------------------

Any comments, memories about John Lanchberry? He was the most important arranger of ballet scores in the last half-century. The arrangements were sometimes controversial (what isn't?). Are there successors?

Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Sir Charles Mackerras yet lives (but he's getting on in years, too).

just a comment, 'for the record' (no pun intended), that i believe the two 'r's spelling (which you used in your post, alexandra) is the correct one, rather than the single 'r' of the thread title...

for 'dream', monotones and 'month': thank you for the immense pleasure...

well i never! both the guardian and the times use one 'r' - i must be wrong!
