Parry Jones , one of the most versatile of all British singers, was born at Blaina, Monmouthshire, the son of a well-known Welsh amateur tenor. He studied under Albert Visetti at the Royal College of Music and later with Ernesto Colli in Milan.
Not only is Parry Jones a successful opera singer-he was a member of the D'Oyly Carte, the Royal Carl Rosa , and the British National opera companies-but he is a fine interpreter of German Iieder and French song, and has made a special study of the songs of British composers, particularly those of Peter Warlock.
