I just learned of the passing, yesterday 21 Oct, of a conductor I greatly admired during my early years as a classical music listener: Bernard Haitink, 4 Mar 1929 - 21 Oct 2021. During the early to mid/late 1970s he was possibly my favorite conductor. I later switched my allegiance to more fiery conductors, but still value some of his interpretations. He had a long, active career, conducting until only a few years ago.

His late 60s / early 70s Philips recording of Mahler's 5th symphony, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, introduced me to the piece. This video of its adagietto is a much more recent recording, but a fitting tribute:

Betty White passed today 31 Dec 2021, age 99. She and the year went together. I venture to say that one will be missed more than the other.

People magazine prematurely released a Betty White 100th birthday issue, two days before Ms White departed.

The Surviving Silent Film Actors roster is now reduced to a measly two, following the passing of Mildred Kornman on 21 Aug 2022, age 97.

(link) Here's her Wikipedia entry (link)

Note that Wikipedia has her pass on the 19th. Other sources say the 21st.

Rest in peace, Dame Angela Lansbury, who died today at the age of 96. Astonishing actress and I'll miss her.

Sad to hear, she was a classy actress.

On this day in 1941, the attack at Pearl Harbor ushered the US into WWII and the battle for the Pacific. Though I celebrate the ultimate victory, I mourn the tragic cost.
