Gunilla von Bahr, recording pioneer, manager of the Malmo Symphony Orchestra and principal of the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, has died at the age of 72.
A gifted instrumentalist, Gunilla launched her husband Robert’s label, BIS, with a best-selling album of flute favourites. She went on to make 25 recordings and, swiftly popular, achieved the first gold disc by a Swedish classical artist.
Very sad news.
Her recording of the Ligeti Double Concerto was a particular treasure
Requiescat in pace
Far too soon. Yet what a wonderful legacy she has left for the rest of us…
Gunilla was one of the best human beings what i know in my life..she was doing so much for recovering musical life in Ex Yugoslavia after the war..
Thank you Gunilla for all efords you made for a better artistic world! You will be forever in my heart!!
