His father, who had been seriously wounded in the First World War, had been dispatched in the mid-1920s to run outposts of the German company he worked for in northern Spain.

Sad - capable interpreter of some of the “lighter” classical music - heard him at Philly’s Mann Center conduct the Philadelphia a few years back in “Capriccio Espagnol” and ‘La Valse” among others - in fact he’s on the schedule to lead that same orchestra next March in some works by Beethoven and Falla - and one of my favorite old LP’s includes his rendition of Guridi’s “El caserio” - RIP.....
