Gracious, that is a shock.  She was a very fine player and personable in conversation.  I last heard her in a memorable live performance at Leeds Town Hall.  She was able to coax sounds out of the Klais at St Lawrence Jewry which would confound the critics of that organ - a case I suppose, as so often, of the incumbent knowing how to get the best from their instrument.  I particularly remember a wonderful performance of Reger’s ‘Pfingsten’.  May she rest in peace.

Such sad news. I was fortunate to be an observer at a masterclass she gave on Bach’s Leipzig chorales a few years ago, and learnt so much from everything she had to say to the students.

A fine musician who will be sadly missed.

Announcements of this nature are becoming somewhat disturbingly common of late it would appear.
