4.00pm Sir Geraint Evans : A Tribute
When Sir Geraint Evans died on 19 September this year at the age of 70, he left behind not only memories of a great operatic performer but also of an extremely kind and generous human being. He was one of the first British singers to achieve international recognition and used his influence abroad to promote fellow British singers. After his retirement from the operatic stage in 1984, he gave his time to many charities and took great interest in the developing careers of many young singers.
In this programme, recorded in 1988, he looks back over his career and presents a personal selection of music. Introduced by Sir Georg Solti.
