Talk:Geoffrey Parsons (pianist)

LGBT category and Eric Vietheer

This makes it quite plain: "And through his partner Erich Vietheer, a singing teacher who shared the house in Iverson Road, he drew into his circle promising young artists like Ann Murray and Felicity Lott who would become the next generation of stars".

It’s also implied in the caption to the photo here: "Geoffrey Parsons and partner Eric Vetheir, London, 1967", which could simply be referring to a musical partnership, but of all the famous people he worked with, why would this singer be singled out for mention, unless it meant a different kind of partnership?

Eric or Erich Vietheer (it’s incorrectly spelled Vetheir in the above caption) seems a fairly obscure person, at least to me. Apparently he was a singer and teacher [1]. This says he taught at Trinity College of Music. This calles him "Erich" Vietheer. He seems to have had some connection with Glyndebourne - there’s an "Eric Vietheer Memorial Award" at Glyndebourne [2], and [3]. He’s mentioned in this list and this one, but it doesn’t explain what or who he was. This says he was a student of Gerhard Hüsch, with whom Parsons worked for a long time. This person says he studied with him, and refers to him as "the late Eric Vietheer". There was an Eric Vietheer Memorial Concert on 9 November 2003. Andrew King studied with him, according to the International Who’s Who in Classical Music 2003, but Vietheer himself has no entry. Here’s an actor called Eric Vietheer, in 1971. Lawrence Allen studied with both Vietheer and Parsons, as did Rosamund Illing. -- JackofOz (talk) 22:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
