Remembered Today:

Oh what a lovely war.

I Dear Carol I worked with Maurice at Glyndebourne  and to hear his voice over the tannoy would lift the hairs at the back of your neck. He had  unique talent that combined his natural pure welsh tenor  , which he then  had the discipline to undergo the  technical training to become a top opera singer  ,but some how  Maurice did not loose the purity of his true voice in the as so often happens in this process.

 I am always  lifted by the oh what a lovely war  clip  but want all fans to know that his beautiful heart  breaking  performance as the young innocent Lensky in  Eugene Onegin will in my opinion never be bettered.

A wonderful voice and a moving rendition of a song which is one of the best parts of the film.

 

Best wishes to Maurice and look after yourselves!

Sad news.  Maurice died in his care home on the afternoon of 20 November, just two days before his 82nd birthday.  We were together for 46 years.  I am glad you all enjoyed his music which will live forever.  Thank you for your lovely messages which I passed on to him when I was able to visit.
