 | | A conductor and music director of unmatched experience, John Lanchbery, who has died aged 79, was respected and admired on three continents. |
 | | In 1972, he was appointed music director of the Australian Ballet, where he remained for five years, before moving to New York in the same capacity for American Ballet Theatre, from 1978 to 1980. |
 | | He was also associated with Ashton in adapting Mendelssohn's music for The Dream (1964), orchestrating Satie piano music for Monotones (1966), and reworking an assortment of Chopin pieces for A Month in the Country (1976), all of which were copyright to Lanchbery and became a useful source of income. |
