Very sorry to hear that. He used to deputise at the Morley College advanced piano class in London, which I attended in the late ’80s and’90s, and was always kindly and helpful.
Alasdair taught me whilst at the RCM. He was a wonderful, caring, kind man; a mountain of information about repertoire, singers, sound and the wider world. I looked up to him as an inspiring teacher and later, a good friend.
