About two years ago Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos was conducting the National Symphony Orchestra in
El Amor Brujo. We were sitting on the parterre level near the orchestra when one of the cellists suddenly ran off the stage. A few seconds later, the conductor fell off the podium and collapsed into the arms of some nimble second violinists. He took a few moments to recover and finished the concert which included
The Pines of Rome sitting on a chair. This proved to be his last concert and he died a few months later.
I guess the cellist must have noticed that Frühbeck de Burgos was about to collapse. Good that he was able to finish, unlike poor Giuseppe Sinopoli who died backstage after collapsing with a heart attack.
