Farewell to Erich Kunzel



Conductor Erich Kunzel died Tuesday morning at the age of 74 after a bout with cancer.

Click here for a tribute to Kunzel that aired this morning on "Morning Edition."

If you check out the discography section of Maestro Kunzel's website you will see a very long list of recordings. I'm happy that the Northwest Public Radio library has many of his performances. Some of my favorites are his instrumental arrangements of the arias of Verdi and Puccini and "Five Selections from Victory at Sea." Scroll down just a bit to read more about Victory at Sea.
