Shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news today. I feel grateful that I was in London during the 80s to attend some of his rare appearances there.. I particularly remember a sublime recital at the QEH of Forqueray, Duphly etc. I also recall being 19 and spending all my hard-earned cash on his box of all the Bach harpsichord concertos...I was a fan forever after.

I gather the Bott/Leonhardt interview is being repeated in place of today's EMS.Comment

I have listened a lot to the 2008 80th birthday jubilee edition with a mixture of well-known works and less familiar items. A must-have, I would have thought. He seemed to be one those figures that would always be there. Looking back over his huge contribution over the years he must have died a happy man.Comment
