Lyndon Jenkins RIP

[John Wright]

Just read in Classical Recordings Quarterly of the death of Lyndon Jenkins 24/4/14 aged 75.

A regular broadcaster on R3 during 1983-1999, and part of Birmingham Town Hall and Symphony Hall management 1993-2004, conducted the CBSO on occasion, wrote on Beecham and Delius, frequent speaker on recorded music and contributor to CRQ.

Not really a Delian or a Beecham addict, I always enjoyed LJ's avuncular contributions on Radio3.

An ideal next door neighbour I'd say.

Will look out for obituaries. A rather disappointing response in this parish.

Blimey,only just seen this.
I too enjoyed his contributions to Radio 3.
Founder member and former chaiman of the Delius society,British (and Danish)music champion.
Writer of superb cd notes.

RIP

Alison, as Lyndon Jenkins died in April I expect all obituaries have been published. He was much appreciated in Birmingham (Town Hall, Symphony Hall), and I have found only this tribute
