It was great talking with him - really a down to earth guy, passionate about music, and encouraging to young players. He probably wouldn't remember me, but I was Matthias Rykert's student for a couple of years. Hope he is doing well, send him my best!Diary of an Autodidacthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849157548643091986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051826042602269061.post-8674269284797998432017-06-23T11:11:00.350-07:002017-06-23T11:11:00.350-07:00Loved the book as well.

Fascinating person. <br />I am good friends with the founder of the LA Baroque, Greg Maldanado. Went to lots of concerts all over the LA Basin. He finally got his PhD in Ancient Music and is now teaching and playing in Las Vegas. Brings back lots of good memories. amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051826042602269061.post-54369564844106659392017-06-22T09:33:13.985-07:002017-06-22T09:33:13.985-07:00I'll be returning the book to the library toda...I'll be returning the book to the library today, so feel free to check it out.
