Philip Langridge
Langridge had a very good sense for drama as well as an excellent singing voice. He sang a wide variety of roles including parts in operas by Claudio Monteverdi, Mozart,  Ravel, Stravinsky, Janáček,  Schoenberg and, especially, Benjamin Britten.  Later in life he sang just one role from a Wagner opera: the part of Loge in Das Rheingold.
