Let us send him all good wishes and hope that he gets better soon
I hope he gets well very soon. I was fortunate to see him conduct at the Proms last year. It was a terrific concert.
He is also Artistic Advisor of the Rhode Island Philharmonic.
He is a good conductor and a good man — I wish him a full recovery.
A really interesting and undervalued conductor, IMHO. Let’s hope that he comes through his cancer.
For his Boston Symphony debut, he did a semi-staged Porgy and Bess at Tanglewood on just 2 rehearsals. It was fabulous. A brilliant intellect, engaging conversationalist, and a wonderful personality. Fingers crossed for a full recovery!
Always fun to watch at NYP holiday concerts.
We have enjoyed his recent Christmas concerts with the Philadelphia Orchestra, he is an audience favorite. A stout warrior in his current battle, we pray for successful treatment and his renewed good health.
He is truly beloved here in LA for his many wonderful concerts over many summers at the Hollywood Bowl…a uniquely gifted and witty raconteur combined with superb musicianship …we have been rooting for him as a member of our civic family!
I will add my prayers and good wishes to a dear friend who I have known since Romford Salvation Army. Take care.
Lovely man, and real pro conductor. Very much enjoyed playing under him on several occasions. Get better soon.
I have had the complete pleasure of playing under this Maestro several times. He is a true gentleman and is beloved by many, many orchestral musicians. I am sending him my most positive thoughts and wishes.
Sorry to hear he is ailing, I wish him good fortune. We really enjoyed a wonderful Elgar Second with the Melbourne SO a few years ago, as part of their Geelong series.
