Many thanks, Charles! God Bless You!
And thanks to you, Tommy. Your work ongoing in CK’s name and memory is just outstanding. We all thank YOU.
Profoundest gratitude for all the wonderful performances that Carlos Kleiber enabled us to experience in Munich, Germany. Maestro, we miss you !
Dear Gabriele: and how blessed you were to live where he lived, and hear him as often as you did. Yours is a charmed part of the music world.
CK was always amused by the fact that his own home in Grünwald was so close to — of course — Furtwängler-Straße. How appropriate a connection, how right a bond.
Thank you for writing.
Thank you for your wonderful talk! I cannot tell you how much we loved Carlos Kleiber and gladly stood in line for hours, sometimes more than 24 hours non-stop in the snow, to purchase tickets — yes, for every performance that he conducted here.
