Thanks to everybody for all their lovely messages - I really do feel grateful that his singing meant so much to people! Keep your eyes peeled for a tribute video I will be uploading this weekend - my mum created it and we played it at the wake. It is a collection of photo's throughout my dad's life accompanied by his beautiful voice - thanks again!! xx

Dear Amber, my heart felt condolences. Your father was and still is an inspiration to me as I'm sure he is to baritones and singers throughout the world. What he gave us is very special and he takes his place as one of the great artists of the 20th century. To this day unparalleled as a british verdi baritone, he will continue to inspire.

Hello Amber, I'm only sorry I didn't see this earlier. Like thousands around the world I have admired your father's work for many years. He truly was great. May he rest in peace as he will surely stay in the hearts of many people, best wishes and comfort to you,Ruxton

Dear Amber, I was very sad to see that your father had succumbed. I was there when Karajan conducted. I will always remember the voice because he was one of the few Verdi baritoni who did not 'tenorise' things to much and still retained a mahogany lower register with a good tenori coloured top.RIP - Richard Jones - ex-Grand Theâtre Genève

Rest in peace -Peter Glossop you were a great Verdi baritone ,that gave great pleasure to me at Saddlers Wells in the fifties and later at Convent Garden.

Don't have your email address, but wanted to pass on my thoughts. I am a 28 year old principal baritone with Opera Australia, and have just finished watching your father's BBC dramatisation of Billy Budd. It is fantastic, and a real pleasure to hear such a beautiful voice. It's awesome to be able to have this contact with him.

Lo tengo en Otello, donde interpreta a Iago, y John Vickers a Otello. Un gran actor Glossop, un gran villano

I heard Glossop first in Ernani at SF Opera as Carlo V. A dozen years or so later I heard Milnes in the same part on the same stage.Glossop had a more solid sound. His voice was bigger and richer although at times he would snarl - not really appropriate in Ernani but probably OK in Rigoletto. He always had a great top.After Merrill and Warren left the stage you might have thought that Glossop would have been next big thing. But it didn't work out that way.

What a great voice! I knew his name, but never heard him singing. Youtube does it make possible. |
