BBC piano man has died, at 72
mainWe are sorry to learn of the death of Jeremy Siepmann, a civilised man who played many roles in piano music, most effectively as a propagator on the BBC.
A New Englander who studied with Rudolf Serkin, Jeremy became head of music at the BBC World Service in 1988 and, later, editor of Piano magazine. He was a frequent broadcaster on BBC channels and a gentle reviewer in music magazines.
He also produced and presented a get-to-know composer series for Naxos.
His Chopin biography was also quite good.
