I saw him conduct el Amor de Brujo few months ago at the Kennedy Center. Mid way through he collapsed on the podium and some of the musicians jumped up and caught him. From that point, he sat on the edge of the podium and finished the concert. He was very,very good and I will miss not seeing him again.

I saw him conduct el Amor de Brujo few months ago at the Kennedy Center...wow - that must have been the incident referred to in the obituary - can't think of much better or more appropriate music for him to go by if he had to go - must've been good....
