We have been notified by the family of the death of Christopher Nupen, the best classical music documentary maker that television has ever known.

Chris was 88 and had been suffering from a long debilitating illness.

South African born, he arrived in British television just as cameras became mobile, lightweight and silent. He formed close friendships with Barenboim, Ashkenazy, Du Pre and their circle.

In later years he made  composer biopics and a documentary about Jews in German culture.
