Following so shortly after the very emotional death of our Queen, so sad this morning to read of the death of Lars Vogt. I only saw him a few of times when, as resident conductor of the Northern Sinfonia, I when to local concerts at the Sage, Gateshead, most memorably for the re-creation of that massive programme of Beethoven's symphonies and Piano Concertos, including (IIRC) Symphonies 5 & 6 and Piano Concerto No. 4.
As both conductor and soloist I could only admire his enthusiasm and skill - he clearly put every ounce of his being into the performance.
A very sad passing for his family, his music and last but not least, classical music here in the North East.
RIP
Richard
Yes, I was saddened to hear that
too. He was a creative pianist whose interpretations were full of imaginative though unobtrusive ideas.
