      … and remembering that Mata died because his plane crashed.

        It still hurts….he died due to the crash in january 1995. A few weeks earlier i wittnessed his final concert in Rotterdam with the Rotterdam Philharmonic. The complete balletmusic from “El Sombrero”, de Falla. Without any doubt he was (maybe is) the best conductor for this music…I cherish also deeply his recording(s)of music from his compatriot Revueltas

    Daniel Harding has a full (A320?) simulator ($$$$$) in his Paris basement.

    He’s nuts about flying.
