Very sorry to learn of the passing of conductor Jesús López-Cobos. His high profile in the United States came with the music directorship of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra from 1986 to 2001 (he was later its Conductor Emeritus) and a recording contract with Telarc records. I can’t believe he was already 78 years-old. Time is ruthless.
