Vladimir Ashkenazy, conductor

Morawetz and Vladimir Ashkenazy, 1995

Oskar Morawetz' lifetime of selfless dedication to music as one of mankind's supreme expressions, could be an example to all of us.  I still remember how much I was impressed by the intensity of his "Anne Frank" when I conducted it some years ago.  His humbleness and devotion should never be forgotten.
