15 years since we lost Sir Charles Mackerras. The single biggest influence on me as a musician, and an inspiration in all I do as a singer and teacher..

Charles is in the top spot again on BBC's Building a Library! This time, for Dvorak's New World Symphony with @PSO_FOK in their 2005 @SupraphonCZ recording selected by @klhamilton Enjoy listening! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:b…
So lovely to hear Christine Rice choose Charles' recording of Hansel & Gretel with @philharmonia as her 'on repeat' track today on Record Review. He too was so looking forward to conducting this at @RoyalOperaHouse in 2010 - sadly, not to be. One of his favourite operas ever!
