Really saddened by the death of the conductor Sir Charles Mackerras. Not only was he a really great conductor, he was a huge musical influence on yours truely. His performances of Handel, Janacek, Mozart and (most importantly) Gilbert & Sullivan formed a very important part of my musical education. He will be greatly missed.
I consider myself honoured to have been present at last year's Prom performance of Patience - one of the great G&S performances.

May he rest in peace.

I played on the Planets from last years Proms with him.The best performance I've done of that piece.Elgar's Cockaigne was the best also.Delius's Song of the High Hills was a revelation.In the past every show with Charles was special.Mahler 6, Glagolithic Mass, Beethoven 9, Janancek Sinfonietta.I first saw him conduct Gotterdammerung in 1972.I was then "hooked" on Wagner!Never a dull moment with him.Very exciting performances, and proper speeds!Age never withered him.

@lilleeWAfot You were in Mackerras' prom last year! Wow! It was a great prom! What instrument were you playing? So you are in the BBC Philharmonic?
You are very lucky to have worked with the great conductor!
