In memorium - Alan Blyth

Agree Tam.

AB's article's in the Gramophone were always worth reading. Sad news.

Steve

In my view he was the last representative of the real musical critics, both in concert reviewing and considering recordings.

Form his writng and that of others such as Micheal Kennedy and Peter Stadlen you could read the review and actually imagine what the concert had been like. No new generation, so gifted, has come along in the music criticism.

He will be missed.

Sincerely from Fredrik

Sorry, didn't see this when I posted my later item.

A sad loss. And, from what I've read, a decent man. (Lavenham, good wine et al!)
