Death of an eminent Baltic conductor
mainWe have been informed of the death of Saulius Sondeckis, founder of the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra in 1960 and its conductor until closure in 2004.
Sondeckis guest conducted widely across the world and made numerous recordings. He was 87.
Sad news. I have one of his CDs, of the Mozart flute concerti. I bought it because it was very cheap, but I was mighty impressed by the quality of the orchestra and the conducting.
