According to Leonard Bernstein said, one of the most important singers of the twentieth century, and for me a baritone without equal, creating an authentic school of interpretation particularly of Lieder by Schubert, Schumann, Mahler. With it I dare say that closes an entire epoch of the highest figures of music, and with it a great lasting memory to Victoria de los Angeles, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Christa Ludwig, AstridVarnay, Kirsten Flagstad, Gerald Moore, Hans Hotter, Alicia de Larrocha, Furtw?ngler,Knappertsbusch .... Great musicians, great people, calling over his career ... really the last witness and representative of the greatest generation of artists of his style, a new world in the media that prevail over other values. He, and other large will always be with us, the best tribute we all could wish, is to share its music, art, emotion, handed down to us, give us and we will continue to transmit. Do not say goodbye, I hear once more and with more emotion than ever. Rest with peace and respect it deserves and has earned <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayIrOHMKFFQ&list=PLA3C99840347DD93C&index=19&feature=plpp_video > Cheers Lluis
