Thanks for the tribute, Lluis.  I was a big fan of his -- probably my
favorite baritone of all time, especially for lieder.  The first thing that
sprang to mind for some reason was "Er war einmal ein Bock ...," the first
line of Strauss' Kramerspiegel sung by F-D and accompanied by Jorg Demus.
 Sad to hear of his passing, but he left the world a better place.
