a contributor here of great charm and distinction

Can I join my voice to all those in praise of this fine musician. I too grew up with and received great pleasure from a number of his recordings. I had no idea he contributed to this forum (under what nickname?). Just read the "Solo" book too. Two wonderful pianists. Both sadly missed.

A very nice man that I met in cyber space....

I caught the tail end of an announcement on R3 just after 8am which briefly stated that Rob Cowan would be paying tribute to Peter Katin on his Sunday morning programme.

[Bryn]

Thanks Anna. Not a programme I normally tune into, so would probably have missed without your fillip.

And here are his posts.

Many thanks. (2nd link doesnt work but I found his posts OK).

Many thanks. (2nd link doesn't work but I found his posts OK).

Hmm. Works here, so I guess it must be tied to my particular installation. I will remove it from the message.

Thanks, Bryn. His posts illustrate his decency. A wonderful career.

How poignant to read those. Thanks Bryn

I'm very sorry to hear this news and send condolences to his family and friends. I agree - such a very nice man. Very kindly, he responded to my request for reminiscences of his recording sessions over the years, and relationships with conductors.

RIP

The scent of modesty about them. He was also a Friend of Radio 3, so a loss for FoR3 too.

I always enjoyed reading his posts. Alas no. such a modest man, as well. RIP Peter Katin.

I'm baffled. I've just listened to Rob's tribute from last night - but not a word anywhere as yet. Not even Lebrecht. Too much to suppose the BBC 'Arts & Entertainments' page would have anything in their music section? Or Radio 3's Facebook pages ... ? Even Wikipedia ... What's going on?
NB Martin mentioned it this morning on the early morning programme ...

Yes I looked earlier across the internet and was about to ask: are we sure....
