paragraph: Paul Camille von Denis

paragraph: Paul Camille Denis, later von Denis, (28 June 1796 – 3 September 1872) was an engineer, railway pioneer and participant in the Hambach Festival, the German political protest of 1832.

paragraph: Denis was at Château des Saales in Montier-en-Der, in the Département of Haute-Marne, France. He grew up as a child of the Mainz city councillor, Peter Denis, and attended the Lyceum Louis le Grand in Paris. In 1814 and 1815 he studied at the École Polytechnique in Paris. After the conclusion of his studies he returned to the Palatinate to his father who had since settled at Neustadt.

paragraph: Initially employed as a trainee by the Bavarian state - to which the Palatinate then belonged - from 3 March 1816 he worked as a construction overseer ("Baukondukteur") in Germersheim. In 1822 he became an engineering inspector at Speyer and, in 1826, was promoted to engineer, first class, at Zweibrücken.

paragraph: Here he came into close contact with the democratic opposition organised by Friedrich Schüler, Johann Georg August Wirth, Joseph Savoye and Ferdinand Geib. In a report from the state police to the Bavarian king he was described - incorrectly - as their boyhood friend and fellow student. The German Press and Fatherland Union ("Deutscher Preß- und Vaterlandsverein") of democrats was founded in 1832, in which the wealthy Paul Camille Denis was a major financial contributor. In his personal files for that year his wealth was stated at 300,000 Gulden. When in August 1832 the secretary of the "Preß- und Vaterlandsverein", Georg Eifler, was arrested, Paul Camille Denis put up 10,000 Gulden as bail.

paragraph: As a member of the Palatine state parliament he took part in the Hambach Festival. As a result, the Bavarian General Commissioner, Field Marshal Carl Philipp von Wrede, transferred him to Rosenheim for exceeding his authority. On 1 August 1832 Paul Camille Denis signed the Kaiserslautern Protest against the Federal resolution of 28 June. This led to a charge of "denigration of the most high state authorities". Denis reacted to the charge and threatened transfer to the Isar area by taking unpaid leave on 7 November 1832 for a "technical training trip" to England and America.

paragraph: On his return he built the first German railway line, the Bavarian Ludwig Railway between Nuremberg and Fürth which opened in 1835. This was followed by the construction of the Taunus Railway from Frankfurt am Main to Wiesbaden, opened in 1839-1840, and the Palatine Ludwig Railway in 1844–1849. Recognised as an expert in railway building he later took responsibility for the construction of the Palatine Maximilian Railway, the Homburg – Zweibrücken railway (1857), later part of the "Schwarzbachtalbahn (Pfalz)" and the "Bliestalbahn", as well as the Bavarian Eastern Railway Company from 1856 to 1861.

paragraph: Now highly respected, he received the Knight's Cross of Philip the Magnanimous in 1852 from Grand Duke Ludwig III of Hesse and Rhine. In the same year he was raised to the peerage by the Bavarian king, Maximilian II, becoming Paul Camille "von" Denis.

paragraph: In 1865 Paul Camille von Denis became the head of the planning commission for the Rhine bridge on the Mannheim–Ludwigshafen railway and shortly thereafter, in 1866, went into retirement of his own volition. He died in Bad Dürkheim and was buried in the family grave at the Helenen cemetery in Strasbourg.

paragraph: Edward Stillingfleet Cayley

paragraph: Edward Stillingfleet Cayley (13 August 1802 – 25 February 1862) was a British Liberal Party politician.

paragraph: He was elected at the 1832 general election as a member of parliament for North Riding of Yorkshire, and held the seat until his death in 1862, at the age of 59. He advocated free trade in Parliament and went to Rugby School and Brasenose College, Oxford, thus breaking the Cayley tradition of going to Cambridge.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After graduating from Oxford, Cayley took up residence in North Yorkshire where he engaged in farming. He also undertook studies in history, economics, and philosophy to supplement his "dead language" formal education. Caley became a "barrister-at-law" with membership in the Inner Temple. As a magistrate and barrister, his doors were always open for counsel. He promoted the Yorkshire and other agricultural societies as a speaker and writer. Thus, Cayley became well-known and highly respected by the farmers of his district, so much so that they called on him to represent them in Parliament. At the 1832 general election he stood for election in the two-member county constituency of North Riding of Yorkshire as an independent of Liberal sympathies and a friend of the interests of small agriculturalists, 'unassisted by the aristocracy on either side' and was elected a member of parliament , behind William Duncombe a Tory with major landholdings in the Riding, but ahead of John Charles Ramsden a former Whig MP for Yorkshire who had the support of the Whigs but was a West Riding industrialist. Cayley held the seat until his death in 1862, at the age of 59.

paragraph: As an independent member of Parliament, Cayley fought against "inequalities of taxation". He served on the Agricultural distress and Hand-loom weavers committees

paragraph: Cayley died of heart disease while making the arduous trip to London. The "Farmer’s Magazine" gave Caley a glowing obituary as a "farmers' friend", who "stood with the farmers, by the farmers, and for the farmers."

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Cayley was born at Newbold Hall near Market Weighton. He died at Dean's Yard, Westminster. His parents John Cayley (1786–1846) and

paragraph: Elizabeth Sarah Stillingfleet (1787–1867) were both deaf and dumb. His mother was descended from Edward Stillingfleet, Bishop of Worcester. He was a fine cricketer.

paragraph: On 30 August 1823 he married a cousin, Emma Cayley (c.1797–1848), daughter of Sir George Cayley, the aeronautical baronet. They had three sons:

The frontispiece of this book shows him with a magnificent mid-Victorian beard. He had a reputation as an accomplished metal-worker; in 1862 he and the painter George Frederick Watts designed the challenge shield for a national shooting championship at Wimbledon. He also was an accomplished tennis-player; he helped to develop several types of tennis racket, and wrote an article on the game for the Edinburgh Review in 1875. He had homes at Wydale Hall, Snainton, North Yorkshire and in Westminster. In 1860 he married Mary Anne Frances Wilmot (c.1843–1908); they had three children:

paragraph: Giovan Battista Cavagna

paragraph: Giovanni Battista Cavagna, also known as Cavagni or Gavagni (Rome, c. 1545 – 1613) was an Italian architect, engineer, and painter mainly in Naples, but also in Rome and Ascoli Piceno, Italy.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In Naples, he worked in 1572–1577 at the church of San Gregorio Armeno together with Giovanni Vincenzo della Monica. He helped design the Bank in Naples, called the second Monte di Pietà, started in 1539 with goal, according to Sasso, of "liberating" citizens from the supposed usury of the Jews. By 1597, the building was completed and unified all the banks in the city. In this project, he was aided by Giovanni Giacomo Di Conforto and Giovanni Cola di Franco.

paragraph: After leaving Naples for Rome, he worked in the studio of Federico Zuccari and performed numerous frescoes. He returned to Naples in 1590 to design several transition edifices from the Renaissance. For example, he helped complete the Muscettola chapel in the church of Santa Maria della Stella, now no longer extant. In 1591, he helped reconstruct the nave and apse of the church of Sant'Anna dei Lombardi. He also succeeded Francesco Grimaldi in the direction of the construction of San Paolo Maggiore.

paragraph: From 1598 to 1599 he helped design the Cappella del Tesoro in the Basilica of the Santissima Annunziata Maggiore. In these years, he accused the foreign rival in Naples, Domenico Fontana, of selecting a poor site for construction the Royal Palace.

paragraph: In 1601–1602, he was also entrusted the construction of the grain stores. In 1607, he participated in a contest to design the "Reale Cappella del Tesoro di San Gennaro", competing against Ceccardo Bernucci, Giulio Cesare Fontana, Francesco Grimaldi, Giovanni Cola di Franco, Michelangelo Naccherino, Dionisio Nencioni di Bartolomeo, and Giovan Giacomo Di Conforto. The architects Grimaldi e Giovanni Cola di Franco submitted the winning design. In 1610, he was active in Ascoli Piceno, and provided designs for the oratorian church of San Pietro in Valle in the town of Fano in the Marche. He died and is buried in Loreto. Dionisio di Bartolomeo was one of his pupils.

paragraph: It is unclear if there is an architect from Rome (died 1623) with the same name was involved in the renovation of Santa Caterina in Fabriano. He had been the architect of San Pietro in Valle, Fano and of the Sanctuary at Loreto.

paragraph: Monique de Roux

paragraph: Monique de Roux (born 1946 in Boulogne-Billancourt) is a French painter and engraver. She lives and works in Spain.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Sister of the writer Dominique de Roux, of the sailor Jacques de Roux, of the lawyer and politician Xavier de Roux and of the journalist Emmanuel de Roux, she grew up in Algeria until she was six before moving to Paris. During a visit in a museum, she experienced a first aesthetic shock in front of "The Sleeping Gipsy" by Henri Rousseau, soon followed by the one of the masters of Quattrocento, particularly Fra Angelico.

paragraph: She studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, specialized in engraving, from 1965 to 1968, and then completed her education the following year at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid where she settled with her husband.

paragraph: Her first solo exhibition was at the gallery La Maison pour tous in Paris in 1969. In the 70’s, she had numerous engraving exhibitions in Spain. Dominated by dark colors, her artwork is then characterized by dusk visions with troubling models, unmoving people and birds in a cage. She was awarded the engraving prize "Carmen Arozena" in 1980 and, four years later, the "Máximo Ramos" prize.

paragraph: At the same time, she became interested in painting. In 1984, she was selected for attended the courses of the painter Antonio López García at the Fine Arts Circle in Madrid. The following year, she moved with her family to Panama where she taught engraving in a studio of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC). This 4-years stay in Central America had a decisive influence on her art. In addition to the natural Panamanian landscapes which reminded her of Henri Rousseau’s exoticism, it is the use of pure colors as a symbolic language which changes the perception of her oeuvre.

paragraph: Representations of archetypal scenes characterized by an indefinable distress, her painting is like a luminous and enigmatic dream with a kind of timelessness that evokes some paintings by Zurbarán or Magic realism.

paragraph: Back to Madrid, the Mapfre foundation awarded her the drawing prize "Penagos" in 1990. Since, she regularly exhibits in Europe and in Central America.

paragraph: In 2005, she achieved the reprint of her engraving work with the publisher Victor Galán. Five years later, the National Library of Madrid accepted the donation from the artist of 130 engravings which almost cover all of her graphic production. In 2016, Monique de Roux is part of the engravers invited in artistic residency at the Xuyuan Center by the Beijing Instituto Cervantes and the National Chalcography in Madrid. Celebrating the 400th anniversary of Cervantes’ death, each artist has created large etchings on the theme of the Knight-errant which were showed at the Cervantes institute in Beijing at the end of their stay.

paragraph: Hazrat Ishaan

paragraph: Khwaja Sayyid Mir Khawand Mahmud ibn Sharif Naqshbandi, known as "Hazrat Ishaan Shah" ( 1563— 4 November 1642) is a Sufi Saint from Bokhara.

paragraph: Section::::Ancestry.

paragraph: Hazrat Ishaan was a Sayyid, a direct descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatima al Zahra and his son in law and cousin Ali ibn Abu Talib. Two paternal Sayyid lineages of him are currently known. From one line he is a direct descendant of the seventh Imam Musa al Kadhim, through his son Ibrahim al Murtadha and of the well known Sufi master Khwaja Sayyid Mir Alauddin Atar. Sayyid Alauddin Atar was the successor and son in law of Hazrat Bahauddin Naqshband. Therefore, Hazrat Ishaan is also from the progeny of Hazrat Bahauddin Naqshband, who was himself a descendant of the eleventh Imam Hasan al Askari, through his son Sayyid Ali Akbar.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Family.

paragraph: Hazrat Ishaan was the second son of Khwaja Sayyid Mir Sharif Naqshbandi. His older brother was Khwaja Khawand Muhammad Naqshbandi, known as Khwaja Khawand Aftab, who also was a saint. Hazrat Ishaan had issued 5 daughters and 6 sons, who are all regarded as saints.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Spiritual journey.

paragraph: Hazrat Ishaan was influenced by his ancestors´ teachings and was therefore a disciple of his father. Hazat Ishaan studied at a royal college and had become an accomplished scholar. He was also a disciple of Hazrat Ishaq Wali Dahbidi, founder of the Ishaqqiya branch of the Naqshbandiyya Order in Eastern Turkistan. Hazrat Ishaan abandoned a further education in religious studies in order to focus on the mystical quest. He was an authorized Khalifa of Hazrat Ishaq Wali Dahbidi in year 1598 and was sent to Lahore to propagate the Ishaqqiya path. Instead he went to Srinagar in Kashmir. In Srinagar he attracted many people, who have later followed him. The fame of his piety has reached many areas of Central Asia. Hundreds of thousands of disciples in Khorasan, modern-day Afghanistan, especially in the cities of Kandahar, Kabul and Herat, followed him. He has sent disciples in all over Central Asia under, whom 2 have been sent to Tibet. Unlike other Naqshbandi Masters he attracted many people, who were not only official patronages. Hazrat Khwaja Khawand Mahmud was invited by the Moghul Emperor Jahangir to go to his court in Agra. Going there several times, he was unable to create firm connections to the court, because of the influences of Naqshbandis attached to the rival Jubairiyya branch. Therefore, he came back to Kashmir. Becoming entangled in the struggle against the Shia community there, Moghul emperor Shah Jahan summoned him in year 1636 to Delhi and banned his way to Srinagar. Hazrat Ishaan spent his last six years in Lahore, where he also died.

paragraph: Section::::Succession.

paragraph: Hazrat Ishaan was succeeded by his son Moinuddin Naqshabnd in Kashmir. His youngest son Bahauddin succeeded his father in Lahore in a very young age. His spiritual line died out in the late eighteenth century. Hazrat Ishaan has stated that one of his progeny will come to revive his lineage and to take his place as Ghawth. It has been found, that Hazrat Sayyid Mir Jan is this person, who is his successor in the Uwaisiyyah way.

paragraph: Section::::Spiritual rank.

paragraph: Hazrat Ishaan was Qutb ul Aqtab, also called Ghawth, the highest ranking Wali Allah (saint) of his time. In Sufism the Ghawth is known as the cosmic leader of the whole universe and righteous successor of prophet Muhammad. It is said that Hazrat Ishaan stated that under his progeny there will come a son of him, who will revive the spiritual lineage and legacy of Hazrat Ishaan and who will take his place as Ghawth after him. His successor is Sayyid ul Sadaat Hazrat Sayyid Mir Jan.

Taylor achieved the feat on December 1, 1994 against Baptist Christian University in which he also scored 48 points. His other accomplishment is being the officially recognized season three-pointers made per game leader in his junior season in 1994–95; in 25 games he made 109 threes, which was good for a nation-leading 4.36 per game. He sustained an eye injury in early 1995, and his production and playing time declined thereafter.

paragraph: Simon Wigg

paragraph: Simon Wigg (15 October 1960 – 15 November 2000) was an English speedway, grasstrack and longtrack rider who won five World Long Track Championships and finished runner-up in the Speedway World Championship in 1989.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Wigg was born in Brisbane, Australia. 1988 saw him become British Speedway Champion and he retained the title the following year. 1989 also saw Simon captain the Great Britain speedway team when they won the World Team Cup. During his career, Wigg was a frequent visitor to Australia and always enjoyed success on the larger Showground tracks down under such as the Brisbane Exhibition Ground, the Wayville Showground in Adelaide, the Claremont Speedway in Perth, and the Melbourne Showgrounds. He always maintained that his success in Australia was in part due to these larger tracks which suited his Long track style of riding.

paragraph: During his time riding in both Australia and New Zealand, Wigg won the Australian Long track Grand Prix in 1990, 1994 and 1995, as well as the New Zealand Long track Grand Prix in 1994.

paragraph: He moved to Brisbane, Australia aged just two years old in 1962 and returned to England after 15 years in 1977. When he returned, 3 years later he joined his first speedway club Weymouth Wildcats which was just the start of his professional career as a Speedway Rider [1]

paragraph: In 1982, Wigg won the British League Division Two Pairs Championship with Martin Yeates. He became the second British Individual Speedway Long Track World Championship 1985 (Michael Lee was the first in 1981) and went on to win the title a further four times. He was the most successful British Grasstrack and Longtrack rider ever. When Wigg was riding in Oxford, England he met his wife to be, Charlie, and after a few years together they had two children. He was part of the Oxford Cheetahs title winning team in 1985, 1986 and 1989.

paragraph: Wigg was also famous for his bright green leathers and bikes, being nicknamed "The Lean Green Racing Machine", as well as pulling wheelies when he had a comfortable lead in a race. He claimed that the wheelies were to reduce friction from the front wheel and made him faster on the straights, though Wigg also enjoyed playing up to the crowd.

paragraph: Charles Mackerras

paragraph: Sir Alan Charles Maclaurin Mackerras (; 1925 2010) was an Australian conductor. He was an authority on the operas of Janáček and Mozart, and the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan. He was long associated with the English National Opera (and its predecessor) and Welsh National Opera and was the first Australian chief conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Mackerras was born in Schenectady, New York, to Australian parents, Alan Mackerras and Catherine MacLaurin. His father was an electrical engineer and a Quaker. In 1928, when Charles was aged two, the family returned to Sydney, Australia. They initially lived in the suburb of Vaucluse, and in 1933 they moved to the then semi-rural suburb of Turramurra. Mackerras was the eldest of seven children. His siblings were Alastair (1928–99), Neil (1930–87), Joan (b. 1934), Elisabeth (b. 1937) and twins Malcolm and Colin (b. 1939). They are descendants of the pioneer Australian musician Isaac Nathan. Mackerras studied violin at the age of seven and later the flute. He was setting poems to music at eight and wrote a piano concerto when he was 12.

paragraph: Mackerras initially attended his father's alma mater, Sydney Grammar School, and also St Aloysius College in Sydney. While at Sydney Grammar, he showed a precocious talent by composing operas and conducting student performances in his early teens, but his non-musical studies suffered. At all-male St Aloysius, he participated in the school's Gilbert and Sullivan productions, playing the roles of Kate in "The Pirates of Penzance", Leila in "Iolanthe" and Ko-Ko in "The Mikado". Unconvinced that music was a viable profession, his parents removed the young Mackerras from temptation by sending him to board at The King's School. The school's focus on sport and discipline led the young artist to run away several times, and he was eventually expelled. At age 16, Mackerras studied oboe, piano and composition at the NSW State Conservatorium of Music. He earned additional income from writing orchestral scores from recordings.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: By 1941, while still at the conservatory, Mackerras began to get professional performing jobs in Sydney, partly because he was too young to join the military, while older musicians had been called up to go to the war. From 1941 to 1942, Mackerras played the oboe for the J. C. Williamson Company during one of their Gilbert and Sullivan seasons, and he was a rehearsal pianist for the Kirsova ballet company. In 1943, Mackerras joined the ABC Sydney Orchestra, under Malcolm Sargent, as second oboist and at age 19, became principal oboist. On 1947, Mackerras sailed for England on the RMS Rangitiki intending to pursue conducting. He joined Sadler's Wells Theatre as an orchestral oboist and cor anglais player. He later won a British Council Scholarship, enabling him to study conducting with Václav Talich at the Prague Academy of Music. While there, he formed a strong friendship with Jiří Tancibudek, Principal Oboe of the Czech Philharmonic, who introduced him to the operas of Leoš Janáček, thus commencing Mackerras's lifelong passion for that composer's music.

paragraph: In August 1947, shortly before the couple set off for Prague, Mackerras married Judy Wilkins, a clarinettist at Sadlers' Wells. They had two daughters, Fiona and Catherine. Fiona died of cancer in September 2006. He was also the uncle of the Australian conductor Alexander Briger and the British-born American conductor Drostan Hall, Music Director of Camerata Chicago.

paragraph: Returning to England from Prague in 1948, Mackerras rejoined Sadler's Wells as an assistant conductor and began his lifelong association with the Sadler's Wells Opera, now English National Opera, conducting, among others, Janáček, Handel, Gluck, Bach, and Donizetti. In the 1950s, well before the "authenticity" movement had come to general notice, Mackerras focused on the study and practical realization of period performance techniques, culminating in his landmark 1959 recording of Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks" using the original wind band instrumentation. In his 1965 performance of "The Marriage of Figaro", he added the ornamentation in a historically informed style.

paragraph: Mackerras also strongly championed the music of Janáček outside Czechoslovakia, where Mackerras himself judged his work with Janáček as his single most important legacy to music. In 1951, he conducted the British premiere of "Káťa Kabanová". He was also a noted authority on Mozart's operas and those of Sir Arthur Sullivan. His ballet with John Cranko, "Pineapple Poll", is an arrangement of Sullivan music with a story based on one of W. S. Gilbert's "Bab Ballads". The piece premiered in 1951, soon after the expiration of copyright on Sullivan's music, and continues to be a popular light music favourite in English speaking countries. Mackerras later arranged music by Giuseppe Verdi for the ballet "The Lady and the Fool". He also arranged a suite from John Ireland's score for the 1946 film "The Overlanders", after Ireland's death in 1962.

paragraph: He became principal conductor of the BBC Concert Orchestra from 1954 to 1956. In 1963, he made his debut at London's Covent Garden conducting Shostakovich's "Katerina Izmailova". He directed the Hamburg State Opera from 1965 to 1969 and the English National Opera from 1970 to 1977. In 1972, he made his Metropolitan Opera debut in New York conducting Gluck's "Orfeo ed Euridice". Mackerras worked closely with Benjamin Britten for a time until 1958, when, during rehearsals for the first performance of Britten's opera "Noye's Fludde", he made comments about Britten liking prepubescent boys' company and Britten subsequently stopped speaking to him. The events are described in John Bridcut's "Britten's Children".

paragraph: He conducted the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Birgit Nilsson in the opening concert of the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II, in 1973.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: Mackerras had conducted a few Gilbert and Sullivan productions for English National Opera, but his first experience as a guest conductor of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company was for "Trial by Jury", "The Pirates of Penzance" and "The Mikado" during the 1975 D'Oyly Carte centenary season at the Savoy. He conducted "Patience" at the Proms in 1976, the first full-length Gilbert and Sullivan opera given complete at the Proms. In 1980 he joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Trust and later its Board of Trustees. In the early 1980s he conducted two New Year's Eve broadcasts of Savoy operas for the BBC, and his recordings of eight of the operas were broadcast in 1989 by BBC Radio 2 as part of a complete Gilbert and Sullivan series. He also conducted a centennial performance of Sullivan's "The Golden Legend" in Leeds and the first staging of a complete Gilbert and Sullivan opera at the Royal Opera House, "The Yeomen of the Guard", with Welsh National Opera in 1995. In 1980, also, he became the first non-Briton to conduct the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Last Night of the Proms.

paragraph: In 1982 Mackerras was the first Australian national appointed chief conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, a post he held until 1985. he directed the Welsh National Opera from 1987 to 1992, where his Janáček productions won particular praise. One of the highlights of the 1991 season was the reopening of the Estates Theatre in Prague, scene of the original premiere of Mozart's "Don Giovanni", in which Mackerras conducted a new production of that opera to mark the bicentenary of Mozart's death. As Conductor Emeritus of Welsh National Opera, his successes included "Tristan und Isolde", "The Yeomen of the Guard", and "La clemenza di Tito" (all of which productions were brought to London). He was the principal guest conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra (SCO) from 1992 to 1995, and held the title of Conductor Laureate with the SCO. He was principal guest conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from 1993 to 1996. During the same period, he was also principal guest conductor of the San Francisco Opera. From 1998 to 2001 he was the music director of the Orchestra of St. Luke's. From 1987, he regularly conducted the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and was appointed Emeritus Conductor in 2007.

paragraph: In 2004 he became principal guest conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra. He was also principal guest conductor of the Czech Philharmonic. With the Royal Opera, he conducted productions of Gounod's "Roméo et Juliette" and Handel's "Semele". Mackerras also had a long association with the Metropolitan Opera, where he conducted "The Makropulos Case", "Káťa Kabanová", "Le prophète", "Lucia di Lammermoor", "+Billy Budd", "Hansel and Gretel" and "The Magic Flute".

paragraph: In August 2008, Mackerras was announced as the new Honorary President of the Edinburgh International Festival Society. He was only the second person to hold this role, after Yehudi Menuhin. As the original part of the largest arts festival in the world, the Edinburgh International Festival featured performances from Mackerras throughout six decades since his first in 1952. Mackerras summarised his strategy for working with an orchestra as follows:

paragraph: Mackerras was the President of Trinity College of Music, London. He also served as Music Advisor to City Opera of Vancouver, a professional chamber opera company led by conductor Charles Barber. He was also a Patron of Bampton Classical Opera. From 1999 Mackerras was a Patron of the Australian children's cancer charity Redkite.

paragraph: On 18 December 2008, Mackerras served as the conductor for Alfred Brendel's final concert performance with the Vienna Philharmonic. Mackerras's last performance at the BBC Proms included Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience". His final public performance saw him conduct "Così fan tutte" at Glyndebourne in the summer of 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Mackerras died in London on 14 July 2010 at the age of 84, having suffered from cancer. Throughout his final illness, he had continued to conduct, and had been scheduled to direct two of the BBC Proms on and 2010. He was also due to conduct the Scottish Chamber Orchestra performing Mozart's "Idomeneo" at the Edinburgh International Festival in August 2010, which would have been his 56th appearance at the festival. The director of the BBC Proms, Roger Wright, announced that a Prom would be dedicated to Mackerras's memory. Wright paid tribute to Mackerras, saying "Sir Charles was a great conductor and his loss will be deeply felt by musicians and audiences alike", while Rory Jeffes of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra said that Australia had "lost a living treasure". Mackerras is survived by his wife, Judy, and their daughter, Catherine. His funeral was held at St Paul's, Covent Garden on 23 July 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Recordings.

paragraph: Mackerras made his earliest records for EMI, in the final days of 78 rpm records, and he continued recording well into the era of compact discs in the multi-channel Super Audio CD format. In 1952, he conducted his first recording of his own "Pineapple Poll" ballet, which was issued on twelve sides, and subsequently transferred to LP. He later conducted two more complete recordings of the ballet. Some of his early recording sessions were for Walter Legge, standing in when Otto Klemperer and other eminent conductors were ill. He did not always restrict himself to the classical repertoire. For example, on 1955 he recorded Albert Arlen's song "Clancy of the Overflow" (to Banjo Paterson's poem) with Peter Dawson and the London Symphony Orchestra.

paragraph: A smaller UK record company, Pye Records, asked Mackerras to record Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks". 'We had to do that in the middle of the night, in order to get our twenty-six oboes together.' The recording, issued in 1959, was received with critical acclaim for attempting to reproduce the sound Handel would have heard, rather than the smoother orchestral arrangements usually played at that time.

paragraph: In the 1960s Mackerras made the first recording of the Italian version of Gluck's "Orfeo". For DG he conducted Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas", and for EMI a 'new-look' "Messiah", with scholarly texts, small forces and sprightly tempi. He followed that up with Handel's "Saul" and "Israel in Egypt" for DG. He also recorded the first complete "Roberto Devereux" with Beverly Sills. In 1986, he conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in the soundtrack to Carroll Ballard's film version of "The Nutcracker" (better known as "Nutcracker: The Motion Picture"), the first full-length film version of Tchaikovsky's ballet to be given a major release in theatres.

paragraph: Mackerras recorded three Mahler symphonies and all of the symphonies of Mozart, Brahms and Beethoven. Along with the Mozart operas, these recordings continue to attract critical acclaim; as do his recordings of the operas of Janáček (Decca, Supraphon, and Chandos), and major works of Handel, Dvořák, Martinů, Richard Strauss, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Donizetti, Elgar, Delius, Walton, Holst, and Haydn, among many others.

paragraph: In 1953, he conducted Sullivan's cello concerto, broadcast on the BBC. Sullivan's manuscript and most of the orchestra parts were destroyed in a fire, and more than three decades after that single BBC performance, in collaboration with David Mackie, Mackerras reconstructed the concerto, conducting its first performance with cellist Julian Lloyd Webber and the London Symphony Orchestra at Barbican Hall, London, in April 1986, and a recording for EMI shortly afterwards.
