    Truely sad news! :(
    I have a few CD's with him conducting and enjoy them immensely!

    Hope He can fight the good fight and win over this but that amount of cancer is not good!
    At 74 that is actually young for a Classical Musician or Conductor.....most of them live into their 80's.

    Prayer go out to Him and his Family.

    Man that is a shame. He helped to do more for SACD recordings than practically anyone. I hope he doesn't suffer for long.
