Photios: Carlo Maria Giulini - Rest in Peace

The blogger Photios recently wondered what had become of a conductor who had a large impact on his life years ago. He found that the man died just a few months ago. Carlo Maria Giulini was 91 when he died in northern Italy. He conducted in both Europe and America in a career that spanned several decades. He resigned from the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1985 to spend more time with his ailing wife, Marcella, who died in 1995.

The BBC has an artist profile on Giulini here.
