Wlaschin was the author of the excellent and authoritative Opera on Screen: A Guide to More Than 100 Years of Opera Films, Videos and DVDs, published by Yale University Press in 2004, which elicited a rave review from that most curmudgeonly of critics, Stanley Kauffmann.
He was also an accomplished poet. I recall publishing his work in a little magazine in the early 1960s and he later wrote a long, deeply felt sequence of poems on his experience of espionage that appeared in, of all places, the women's magazine Nova.
