I remember Christopher Rouse when he came to teach at Eastman School of Music (early 1980's). His orchestral show-stopper The Infernal Machine made a big impression. At Eastman he initiated and taught the first course on rock music.

Sir Stephen Cleobury (1948-2019)

The English organist and conductor Stephen Cleobury, who spent nearly four decades as Director of Music at King's College Cambridge, died last night aged 70. A full tribute will follow on Monday.

Born in Bromley in 1948, Cleobury was educated at St John's College Cambridge (where he was organ scholar) and held positions at Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral before taking up his role at King's in 1982. Over the next 37 years he made a huge number of recordings with the choir, including Bach's St John and St Matthew Passions, Handel's Coronation Anthems and Messiah, the Fauré, Brahms, Mozart and Duruflé Requiems, and several best-selling recordings based on the choir's iconic Nine Lessons and Carols service.
