Re: Lorin Maazel rest in peace.
Sad news indeed Seán. Another luminary of the music world takes his leave of us. Like a lot of collectors I have a number of his recordings in my collection and only recently I had purchased a Sibelius Symphonic Cycle where he conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

And it's a very good cycle too.

I have not listened to it yet Seán but now with the news of his passing I will move it up in my listening schedule.

I was fortunate to hear Lorin Maazel often and with several orchestras around the World. If I had to choose the finest performance I heard him live would have to be a Mahler Second with the Cleveland Orchestra here in our University´s excellent concert hall. The alto soloist was Maureen Forrester and the soprano Gianna Rolandi. It was a truly exceptional performance, circa 1980.

It was Seán. Maazel always praised the acoustics of the Nezahualcoyotl concert hall, and they proved ideal for the Resurrection.Seán wrote:Oh, that must have been heavenly.Jose Echenique wrote:I was fortunate to hear Lorin Maazel often and with several orchestras around the World.
