H...I was sad to read of the death of Gerd Albrecht. He was a conductor I much admired. Say what you will about the German Kapellmeister system, it bred conductors who knew both their scores and their voices. You can always "breathe" with a conductor trained this way. We first met in Hamburg when he conducted Otello with me and Vladimir Atlantov. Then the new production of Der Fliegende Holländer at Covent Garden. I am sure that the many singers and players who worked with him will miss his great musicality, leadership and experienceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269656173497343077noreply@blogger.com
