Philip Langridge

Very sad to read that Philip Langridge passed away. He was the very example that one can be a tenor with a great voice, supreme elegance and keen intelligence.

His repertory was also very original. I heard him in a subtle Shuisky in Boris Goudonov under Abbado, an anguished Laca in Jenufa under Rattle and an mesmerizing Aaron in Schoenberg's Moses und Aaron in Salzburg under Levine in the Ponelle production.

Who will now be able to speak for Moses ?

    I was, of course, saddened when I heard the news of Langridge's death, but my tears did not come until I read the last line of your posting. He was magnificent and memorable in the Aron role in New York. A wonderful tribute!
