Re: Frans Brüggen rest in peace.
I am just seeing this now. What terribly sad news and and another huge loss to the world of Music. Bruggen was one of my own personal favourites of "modern" conductors but I have been listening to his music making since he made a very big name for himself as a very accomplished recorder player early on. He will be sadly missed.

It is a superb tribute to the maestro, I watched excerpts from all the videos and they are terrific.fergus wrote:Thank you for that Seán.
