Roll of Honour

RIPThat is sad news. Peter Schreier was my favorite conductor of Bach and Mozart choral music on modern instruments, with musicians from Leipzig and Dresden. I've also long treasured his survey of Robert Schumann's Lieder, with pianist Norman Shetler, and his live recording of Schubert's Winterreise cycle, with pianist Sviatoslav Richter--just to name a couple of favorites, for which I am grateful. The musical world will be a lesser place.
