Long Live Erich Kunzel
He was a generous, funny and passionate music maker and Cininnnati's leading advocate. And he was a pistol. All of these traits, and more, are captured in the Erich Kunzel Clips from WGUC. Mr. Kunzel died yesterday....these clips are perfect for your EK tributes and Telarc recordings.
"Always a Cheerleader," "Making Shows Better" and "Often Asked Question" and "Winding Down Career are highly recommended.
