Well we’ve tried hard to build a following on this Blog, but I think I have to admit failure! There will be few updates from now on here. You can though follow Michael White on his own lively Telegraph Blog here http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/michael_white
Please do also follow news on the Jennifer Vyvyan Facebook page which I will be updating regularly www.facebook.com/pages/Jennifer-Vyvyan/135388839853972
Thanks, Jonathan Crown
I have spent a fascinating couple of hours reading the commentaries and archive material on the main website devoted to Jennifer Vyvyan. As a long-standing admirer of her work, it is very good to see so much of her career comprehensively documented.
I was very lucky to be present at two of her splendid later performances: as Lady Rich at the Proms in 1973, and in the War Requiem at the Fairfield Halls in 1974, and I remember them both vividly. In neither did she give any hint of illness, and it was a big shock when she died so soon afterwards.
I hope this won’t be the end of this blog, having discovered it so late!
