The tall, dark , handsome Jeremy Brett was a supreme actor and a man who overcame illness, disability and loss to leave a unique body of work, unprecedented and unequalled. RIP Mr Brett. You deserve to.
I was startled when Mr Brett brought up Faure's beautiful "Requiem". It is my favorite of all requiems ever composed...so lovely, so deeply passionate and mysterious...you see, I played my own disc of it for my own beloved after he died, hoping he could hear it in Heaven. God bless the sweet and glorious memory of the magnificent Mr Jeremy Brett. He was exquisite. He was a beautiful force of nature. He....made the air move. Oh, I miss him!😢
What a charismatic and engaging man. I only know him from the Sherlock Holmes series and a couple other recorded performances, all of which were excellent. It's clear that he put everything he had into his craft and strove to do honor to the material and his audiences. He was also an excellent singer. I wish that I had a chance to see him perform in a play - his stage presence must have been mesmerizing.
Jeremy underlines the fact that the 60s & 70s were indeed the most amazing times in the arts - possibly the greatest in the last 100 years. Hopefully, when this present pandemic subsides, we shall see a flourishing and re-birth of the arts. 2021 could be the beginning of a new age. This programme was a joy to listen to.
What a special treat to hear Mr. Brett tell of his childhood, career and life in his own words! A truly remarkable gentleman and actor. Thank you for sharing this most interesting interview.
In a way it almost doesn't matter that Jeremy Brett was so complicated, because he is Holmes to many of us. I am amazed and grateful that he was so invested in the character of Holmes that many of us can envision no other in the part. He was a man of talent, possibly robbed of the success he deserved in MFL and other roles, until later in life. I am forever a fan. ETA Joan, as a part of WGBH definitely was an influence on my early life (masterpiece theatre) which probably led me to my love of Brett and Sherlock.
What a candid interview ! Mr. Brett left the world so early. What a refined artiste he is ! Take good care of your health this time. Love you Sherlock and love your Maxim De Winter😘
Absolutely technically the best. He promised Conan Doyles niece he would stay as close to the text as possible, to the point of upending a restaurant table when confronted with a wooden headed director (my personal favorite JB story “Dover Sole went everywhere!”)
A few years before his death. You can hear his heavy breathing due to his heavy smoking and inefficient heart valves which was due to Rheumatic fever as a child. The best Holmes ever imo.
An extraordinary Actor - Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes with Granada's (then) modern production standards remain unequalled imo & hooked me as a teenager in the 1980's.
Such a noble, loving, romantic soul. An absolute feast to watch (as Holmes, haven't seen any other of his performances except my fair lady) and a delicious treat to listen to him in this interview.
Oh Deus!.como gostaria de entender o que diz essa maravilha de homem, de ator , desse Holmes que só agora conheci. Saber que já faleceu foi duro. Por que não aprendi inglês para entendê- lo? Apaixonada por um morto. Pode? Pode quando supera expectativas. Amo Jeremy Brett
And why couldn't we hear some of Leontyne Price... especially in place of that flawed voice of Maria Callas!!! I have never heard a Desert Island Disc program with the music cut down to just a few seconds instead of minutes! In a word: Ridiculous...
@@harrickvharrick3957 They used make up and many tricks to make him look like Sherlock Holmes and what you see it is Jeremy Brett for real from "A roll with Jeremy Brett" by Marcus Tylor.There are more photos from that photo shoot.Many people who saw him in reality where shocked because of the lovely and beautiful man in front of them who looked different from him as seen on the screen as Sherlock Holmes.
@@harrickvharrick3957 Those photos were taken in 1988 when Jeremy Brett played "The secret of Sherlock Holmes" on stage with Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson.In his dressing room,when he was...himself.The shooting of the series started in 1983.
Perhaps, but I believe he made a choice to emphasize the good in the world at that time. Despite the challenges and tragedies that he dealt with in his life, he still demonstrated a great hunger for enjoying it to the fullest. In the same way he spoke about his wife, Joan, we won't see the likes of him again. Nevertheless we can still enjoy his legacy even in these troubled times.
I could listen to his voice every day for the rest of my life. What a wonderful soul. Truly one of a kind.❤️

The way he talks about his beloved wife Joan, so moving. And just like her, he was taken too soon. Thank you for this wonderful interview.
Will never forget him the best Sherlock ever.

Comforting to hear his voice and the accent. Thank you for preserving the memories!
It doesn’t matter if you watch him or listen to him. The pleasure is the same... 💗
A beautiful talented individual. Sorely missed.
Love this man ❤😘
Gosh! What a voice this man had! Missed dearly

A voice like velvet and fur. Wonderful.
Jeremy Brett is to Sherlock Holmes as Sean Connery is to James Bond.
Love his voice
Great actor
R.I.P. ❤️

Beautiful reminiscences and thoughts from Jeremy Brett!
He was such an amazing actor and from what I read and saw and heard such an amazing man in real life as well.
Love you Jeremy...we hv not forgotten you...u will always be loved and remembered...
So grateful - Thank you for sharing. His words about losing someone in your life are so wise and true.
Oh this was rapturous and wonderful to listen to!
What a treasure of a man Jeremy Brett was!
What a lovely, loving man. God bless him.
Oh, that beautiful voice 😍!
Such a beautiful man
Greatly admired and dearly missed. I still watch the Granada Sherlock Holmes series and relish his brilliant interpretation.
Yes so do I..I've watched all episodes about 6 times over..love his Sherlock
@@TheMusicmaester Its lovely to be in such good company...the unceasing admirers of the admirable Jeremy Brett!! Chapeau A Cookson!
I watch them almost annually... am at present just finishing the series again... :-)

The best Holmes ever. You may disagree, but you would be wrong. :)

Jeremy Brett...such a special person he was...incredible talent!
A few years before his death. You can hear his heavy breathing due to his heavy smoking and inefficient heart valves which was due to Rheumatic fever as a child. The best Holmes ever imo.
Jeremy Brett's voice indeed gifted! So deeply and touching truly.
An extraordinary Actor - Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes with Granada's (then) modern production standards remain unequalled imo & hooked me as a teenager in the 1980's.
Beautiful soul who could hv lived a bit longer. But God decided otherwise... Love him... May his soul rest in peace
What a beautiful man, and lovely choices in music. It breaks my heart so much. Urbane, elegant, and kind. He was actually my first crush as Sherlock.
Very grateful. Many thanks for sharing this interview; it's great!
That voice...
Such a noble, loving, romantic soul. An absolute feast to watch (as Holmes, haven't seen any other of his performances except my fair lady) and a delicious treat to listen to him in this interview.
I encourage you to seek him out. He's a treasure, a gift, a delight.
Stunning Talented Precoiusidad Hot Charisma!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
This was recorded in 1989.
Thankyou so much for this!!
It is perhaps a blessing Jeremy never got to see the mess we are in now 2023.
Very well done
Thank you very much! Never heard it!
brilliant Jeremy was as Holmes and the two actors who played watson in the tv series .
Oh Deus!.como gostaria de entender o que diz essa maravilha de homem, de ator , desse Holmes que só agora conheci. Saber que já faleceu foi duro. Por que não aprendi inglês para entendê- lo?
Apaixonada por um morto. Pode? Pode quando supera expectativas. Amo Jeremy Brett
so precious. Thank you so very very much. I wish we could see all the many performances of which he spoke. Are you on the lookout for them?
Jeremy Brett is who I think of when I think of Sherlock Holmes.📙
Sinto muita saudade de Jeremy Brett!
Well he sure called it wrong about peace in our time :(
🙏
Jó színész volt kàr érte ♥️
Well, that was a bit anti climactic. I think we might have been allowed to hear just a bit of Jesse Norman!
Yes! Instead of 3 measures of a D major chord!
And why couldn't we hear some of Leontyne Price... especially in place of that flawed voice of Maria Callas!!!
I have never heard a Desert Island Disc program with the music cut down to just a few seconds instead of minutes! In a word: Ridiculous...
He wasn't actually on desert island discs though, was he
Please, name the records.
Não tem tradução. Que pena
here him speaking really highlights how gay brett was.
Não tem legendas em português. Que pena, que ódio
I love Jeremy Brett, but his remarks about "peace in our time" through Bush's Gulf War were as ill-judged as Chamberlain's.
Parece o Alan Rickman...
He really doesn't.
@@judithcressey1682 correct. prickman is different
After being stranded on a desert isle i must say the mixtape was completely useless.
Who is the guy in the picture?
take a wild guess
@@IvarTheBoneless101 looks nothing like him. so much so, I can only conclude it is not JB at all.

@@Sorina_S indeed! : )
I do think tho that in these pictures he was younger than when he played SH?

Alas, he was so naive about Americans, the US Empire and capitalism's capacity for destruction.
Perhaps, but I believe he made a choice to emphasize the good in the world at that time.

Or you're simply ignoring all the good the US has done in the world (quite the bad habit of many these dark
days)
