"The musicians, staff and board of Chamber Music Northwest note with
deep sadness the passing of Sergiu Luca this past Monday, December 6,
in Houston. Sergiu founded our organization and was its music director
from 1971 to 1980, and with his death, all of us have lost an
inspirational leader and friend."
[quote from e-mail from CMNW.ORG]

This one feels almost like a family member, because I got to attend
some the concerts in the early 70s, and Mr. Luca brought a sense of
fun and vitality to them. I was just thinking the other day about one
of my first t-shirts that wasn't plain white ... it had a picture and
text in a particular color. The picture was of a Viennese composer,
and the text was "Flavor of the Day: Orange Schubert".

Since Mr Luca was a violinist, maybe it's time for me to dig out "Lark
Ascending".

Mr Luca, in partnership with Mr Golub and Mr Fuller, put out a CD
titled, "Bach Busoni (unhyphenated)". FACET 8005, Delos 1987. All
are now deceased, Mr Golub in 2000 and Mr Fuller in 2007.

IIRC Bach is also dead. Howz about Busoni?

Our best hope is a member of the production crew ... maybe the kid who
brought the coffee.
