  R.I.P Michael Tilson Thomas, long time conductor of the San Francisco Symphony. He was well known for his Mahler cycle, but I liked his recording of Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras (with Renée Fleming) best. Amazingly, his predecessor Herbert Blomstedt is still conducting at 98 (I heartily recommend his Nielsen cycle, that I first bought as CDs when at Yale in the 1990s).
