Julius Rudel Passed Away

I was sad to read about the passing of Julius Rudel (quite some months late), who may have been better known in US circles, and helped launch numerous works for US audiences.

He left us some excellent recordings - my favorite of his is probably Boito's Mefistofele.

Never heard of him. May God rest his soul in Heaven.
