Octogenarian conductor Georg Tintner had been receiving recognition for
his outstanding recording of Bruckner's symphonies. A recent e-mail on the
excellent state of his health, from his wife to a list member, was posted
on this list with her permission. It is therefore with profound shock that
I learned last night from the CBC's Sunday Report that Georg Tintner died
Saturday in a fall from the balcony of his apartment in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, Canada.
The world has lost not only a great conductor but also a great person.
Having read about him, listened to him in recordings and in live concerts,
and met him many times, I cannot adequately express my sorrow at the news
of this tragedy.
