Angela Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 German composer Hans Werner Henze has died today. Here is the obit by Schott Musik, his publisher (in English): http://www.schott-music.com/news/archive/show,8049.html?oldLocale=de_DE Henze not only wrote "Ondine" for Frederick Ashton, but also "Orpheus" for William Forsythe (Stuttgart 1979), and "Pas d'action" for Victor Gsovsky (Munich 1954).

alison Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Thank you for this, Angela. It took me a while to get used to his score for "Ondine", but I'm glad I did. I was aware he hadn't been in good health lately, but even so he managed to live to a ripe old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
