      ... along with a lot of his music apparently

      I really, really need to make time to get to know Magnard.

        A few of us might make that journey together.
        You never know, one might get performed sometime , as well.
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

        I am not a number, I am a free man.

              Yeah, they had a hand in it too.

                Jehan Alain (1911 - 1940) wrote many more works than I realised... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehan_Alain

                  Indeed it is. One of my favourites, and as you say, very appropriate for now.

                    Awash with Schubert songs as I am recently, I'm very conscious of the loss of the greatest lieder singer of the mid-twentieth century, Peter Anders at just 46 in 1954. He was killed in a car accident. His Winterreise is unsurpassed IMO.

                    And here he is as Lohengrin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHHCeEO_0-4

                        You are about 100 years to late, although if you journey to Northern France you may find some of his ashes fluttering about...

                          I listened to some music arranged for trombone today, performed by Steven Witser.
                          I looked him up. Sadly he was the principal trombonist with the LA PO, and died at the age of 48 in 2009.

                          His CD, "Among Friends" is rather good, even though I'm not used to hearing recorder sonatas played that way,
                          or Schumann's Romances Op 94.
