He broke a hip last year and since then he uses a cane, but still goes voor 30 minute walks. He conducts 80 times a year, but he sits while doing so, and in a review of his performance at the Concertgebouw last weekend he was described as 'fragile' in the newspaper. (he looks 80 at most, btw..)

Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted January 24 I was just looking at the start of this thread, and the Big Four of Minimalism are still all with us fifteen years later - Terry Riley and La Monte Young both 88, Steve Reich 87 and Philip Glass 87 next week. Perhaps the music is conducive to a healthy lifestyle. Has any minimalist composer embraced the "too fast to live, too young to die" ethos? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
