He will be missed, such a fabulous musician.
He was also on the faculty of Indiana University in the late 80s and early 90s where I worked with him when I was a grad student. He was a fantastic teacher and a wonderful man. His solo in the recording of Afternoon of a Faun with LSO/Previn is the one I’ll always have in my ear.
