Guest Geoff McMahon Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have just heard of the passing of Gustav Leonhardt after a long fight against cancer. But he was till performing right up till the end. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/9021331/Gustav-Leonhardt.html John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Voix Mystique Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 He will be most sorely missed. One of the true greats. He certainly lived a long and very fruitful life. I am certain that the Almighty will have welcomed him into the Kingdom of Heaven with open arms... Well done thou good and faithful servant indeed!

philipmgwright Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 In the obituary in The Times mention was made of the collaboration between Gustav Leonhardt and Paul Badura- Skoda in the 1950's...by sheer coincidence Badura-Skoda was giving a rare recital in Kings Place on Wednesday18 Jan in memoriam and honorem Dinu Lipatti. An incredible artist ( now 84) in a glorious new concert hall - a privilege to be present . At least we have many recordings to remind us of Leonhardt's skill and vision connecting us to a past glorious age . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
