Very strange thing happened to me--I sat down to listen to one of the Bach Cello Suites the other night and found his performance so compelling that I stayed up late into the evening and listened to all six straight through. Incredibly moving performances. I woke up the next day (a little tired) and opened up the NYT to see his picture along with the death announcement. Very strange indeed.
Janos Starker passed away 28 April
One of the 20th century's best cellists passed away on 28 April. The cello is my favorite acoustical instrument, it can be so expressive, and Mr. Starker was a wonder with it. For more details see the NY Times article:
