Twelvetrees 10 Posted December 26, 2006 One of my dark horses for 2007, (and someone I mentioned way back as a possibility) Galina Ustvolskaya is reported as having died on December 22. Not sure that this is the most reliable of sources, though. I'm sure she'll get a UK obit. when the culture writers get back from their holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her death was reported on Radio 3 as I was driving into work today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
