 Guardian | John Lanchbery
Lanchbery was then asked to rewrite the 1869 Minkus music when Rudolf Nureyev made a new version of Don Quixote in 1966 - "cleaning it up a bit," as he put it; he spring-cleaned more Minkus for Natalia Makarova's production of La Bayadère, initially for American Ballet Theatre in 1980.
Lanchbery said that his approach to this work was always governed by the composer's musical character.
Lanchbery made some fine recordings of complete ballets, including the three Tchaikovskys with the Philarmonia Orchestra, and he composed a variety of incidental music for television, radio and films, including The Tales Of Beatrix Potter (1971) and The Turning Point (1977).
