(実際は12/4家族に看取られてお亡くなりになられたそうです)
様々な名曲を残した彼の作品の中で、やはりこのE2E4は大変思い入れの深い曲です。
昨晩、久々にレコードに針を落としましたが、当時遊びに行っていた明け方のダンスフロアや、若かりし頃よく訪れたアメリカ・ニューヨークへ向かう途中の飛行機で夜中この曲を聴きながら眺めた景色が鮮明に蘇りました。
私の中でいつまでも色褪せない曲として残り続けるでしょう。
ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
I got the news on social media that Manuel Göttsching passed away on December 12, 2022.
(Actually, he passed away on December 4, 2022, with his family looking after him.)
Among his various masterpieces, this E2E4 is still very dear to my heart.
Last night, I dropped the needle on the record for the first time in a while, and it brought back vivid memories of the dawn dance floor where I used to play at that time, and the view I saw while listening to this song at midnight on the airplane on the way to New York City, USA, where I used to visit when I was young.
It will always remain in my mind as a song that will never fade away.
I pray for the repose of his soul.
