Bizarre to think that at this period, Southern Television recorded quite a few of the Glyndebourne operas for broadcast complete on ITV. Unthinkable now!

I recently searched online for a performance of Fauré's Requiem and ended up watching a performance conducted by Martin Neary and featuring John Gielgud, recorded in Winchester Cathedral by Southern Television in 1980. It's part of the Archive of Recorded Church Music.

What was Gielgud’s role?
