Wow,
Logged on to Facebook and came face to face with the news that one of the staple singers of German Lieder (songs) has passed away. If you have taken a Music Appreciation/History class and heard Schubert Lieder, chances are that the voice you heard singing them was his.
He will be missed.
BBC article regarding his death.
A sad day for classical music.
