We have been notified of the death on June 16 of the wonderful Hungarian cellist Ferenç Mihaly, a widely admired artist of Hungarian origin.

A player in the Vienna Octet, he served for 30 years (1958-88) as principal cello in Cologne’s’ Gürzenich orchestra, which is preparing an epitaph for next month’s concert booklet.
