Ryland Davies, who has died aged 80, was an outstanding tenor who began his career with Scottish Opera when he sang Ferrando in their historic production of Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte in 1967.
Sir David Lumsden, who has died aged 94, was principal of both the Royal Scottish and the Royal Academy of Music in London. He faced challenging situations in both appointments as not only the manner of their funding was being considered but also the relevance of maintaining elite music academies.
