Thankfully we can watch his famous production of 'The Mikado' on YouTube (the picture quality's no great, but it's still an absolute joy).Comment

One of the great original sirers of 1960s satire, and a lovely man.
I will never forget going to see Beyond the Fringe in 1965.Comment

Very fond memories - including Beyond the Fringe, his TV series about the human body, ENO Rosenkavalier. Glimpsed him only once. While about to enter ENO for Rosenkavalier, he was also just arriving. Memory is: very tall and very tweedy.Comment

His televised semi-staged Matthew Passion was wonderful. We still have it on an old VHS tape, and it gets a whirl every so often. Jonathan Peter Kenny (alto in that performance) continues the semi-staged Passions in his cathedral tours with ETO.
I think JM would probably have loved this:

The reaper has been busy this past week
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
