RIP American pianist Nicholas Angelich who died last night from a lung disease, aged 51 (SlippedDisc)

What an awful day for classical music (see above post as well).

RIP Jan Rot (1957-2022), Dutch singer-songwriter who is famous in the Netherlands for his many translations of songs, pop as well as classic ones. His Dutch translation of Bach's St Matthew Passion peaked in the Dutch pop album charts at Easter 2006. (from Wiki). He died of cancer. Here is his Dutch version of the lyrics in Schubert's Winterreise (in Dutch: Winterreis), performed by Maarten Koningsberger (baritone) and Roger Braun (piano). I have the CD.

Conductor David Lloyd Jones dies at the age of 87. RIP.
He recorded many British and Irish composers' works for Naxos.

British composer Christopher Gunning passed away on March 25th, aged 78. Many of his symphonies and concertos have been recorded by labels such as Chandos and Albany (I have six CD's of his work). Gunning also composed for films and TV, including the music for nearly all of the Poirot TV films starring David Suchet. RIP.
