I happen to have known Rob to some extend. We used to chat online quite often.
He wasn't an easy person, for sure. He loved music to a level I've rarely seen most do. He had a certain knowledge, given having been a Concergebow subscriber for many years.
I learned a lot from him. I'm not that fond of Mengelberg, but I do think he's mandatory, as far as Mahler is concerned.
I disagree about something I read here on his opinion on Haitink's conducting. We discussed it a lot. He felt obliged to defend HaitinkĀ“s conducting, due the lot of Mahler (which he thought close to good), but this conducting was far from being his fave. Anyway, those are minor aspects, with few importance.
I don't know how many members of AA did past away. This was one of them, and I leave here my respect.
Regards,
Jorge
