Missing Klaus
OrchestrasIt’s 25 years since Klaus Tennstedt died.
He was the most naturally gifted conductor many of us have ever seen – Kurt Masur admitted to a lifelong envy – and we had two decades in which to marvel at revelatory performances of Bruckner, Beethoven, Wagner and Mahler.
Beyond mere skill, he inspired love in all who had the good fortune to spend time in his company.
Stricken by throat cancer, he was 71 when he died.
We will never see his like again.
