The French-American pianist Eugen Indic has died, aged, 76, of a prolonged autoimmune disease.

Son of a Serbian general, he was a regular soloist with the Boston Pops and a prolific recording artist (one of his albums was purloined for the notorious Joyce Hatto hoax). He settled in France in 1952 after marrying into a musician family.

He was hugely acclaimed in Belgrade and Prague.

    A Chopin specialist, very active when CD was rising…rip.

  • Smoke & Mirrors says:

    Rest in peace, dear Eugene. I recall with pleasure your frequent Boston Pops broadcasts in the 1960s, and regret that your subsequent career took you away from the US.

  • Gemma says:

    Great loss to the world of music! Wonderful pianist and a great teacher!
    However, I’m pretty sure he couldn’t have gotten married in 1952, I think it’s meant to say 1972 instead.

  • Aleksander says:

    Eugen Indjic was the recipient of the IV prize at the VIII International Chopin Competition in Warsaw (1970).
    Then he received 3rd prize in Leeds, 2 nd at A. Rubinstein competition. He was a student of A. Rubinstein and N. Boulanger. He was for many years member of the jury of the Chopin Competition in Warsaw. A great musical personality and a great person.

  • CSOA Insider says:

    Maestro Makela has a signed contract in Amsterdam, and there lies the crux of the issue.

    For once, the CSO frowns upon a “menage a trois”.

  • Tony Soprano says:

    He was a good man…never said a bad word about anybody
