Too young, too young. Condolences to his nearest.
Very sad news — I had the good fortune of playing with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional del Ecuador twice under his direction (back in the mid-1990’s). Did not know that he was two or three years younger than I.
It was always a pleasure to work with him. I remember him as a very calm, incredibly competent man and musician who was totally devoted to his art, and he was very easy to work with. At first I found him a little reserved, but later found out that he had a very good sense of humor underneath the outer shell.
RIP
