Alexej Bisnunov 1989 – 2013

Alexej Bisunov's sudden death has greatly saddened all of us who knew him in Salzburg. He was such fun to be with, so vivacious, curious, kind and creative – and a wonderful singer. At the end of our course at the Summer Academy 2011 he presented me with a picture – "The painter" –  a figure with a two-legged eye in place of the heart. This must be himself, and with this eye he observed his surroundings very critically. Although I knew him only briefly, I will remember him with affection through this picture.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to his family and close friends.
