John
Connell
It
is with sadness that we hear of John Connell's recent death after
a long period of ill health. He was at the Studio from 1984-85
before going to ENO as principal bass. He had one of the most
beautiful bass voices one could wish to hear, and his performances
of roles such as Sarastro or the Padre Guardiano in Forza were
outstandingly memorable.
