Today I learned I lost a great friend. Jose was one of the best performers and humans I ever had the privilege to meet. Always over the edge in his love for music and art, on this ground we were brothers. I have so many memories of this incredibly passionate and unconventional character. I was lucky to help him many times in our common quest for instruments. We shared the same views, that they were not just value, but instruments, and lived to be played. This was his passion, his mission, to create the best collection of playable viols. The viol was his voice, his character. This amazing small bodied Cuban was the best viol player, he had the same timbre of the instrument in his voice. Passionate, truly unpredictable, i remember me and him meeting set up like Christmas trees filled with instruments on our bodies… I am gonna miss the Hell out of my friend, we all are. He was a true voice, the voice of passion, of an outstanding musicality, with the warmth of a dedicated soul. We had an appointment in Bracciano in a couple of weeks, he had found yet another setting for his collection. I was supposed to help him setting things back in place again. And I will, in his honor, whenever I can. I hope his spark never dies in all of us that knew him. Rest in peace my dear friend, you were family to me, the family I chose.

Acabo de saber que Jose Vazquez ha mort pel coronavirus. Va ser el director de l’Orpheon Foundation, potser la col•lecció privada d’instruments antics de corda fregada més important que conec. Sempre obert a ajudar als que hem volgut aprendre dels seus instruments, tant músics com lutiers, i un autèntic apassionat de l’obra dels grans lutiers del passat. Una desgràcia més per culpa del covid.

I’ve just learned of the passing of Jose Vasquez, viol player and curator of the Orpheon Foundation instrument collection, from COVID. I met him in Dublin when we were both performing at the Dublin Early Music Festival. He was an energetic and enthusiastic player, curator, and collector of viols and will be missed.http://orpheon.org/home/biography-of-jose-vazquez/
Lieber Jose Vazquez, Jose Vazquez und José, mit Wehmut und Schmerz muss ich leider erfahren dass du auf eine weite Reise gegangen bist. Du warst ein großer Musiker, ein unermüdlichen Sammler und vor allem ein guter Mensch und Freund, zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit erreichbar und voller Energie! Du wirst in deiner Sammlung, deinen Aufnahmen und in den Erinnerungen deiner Freunde weiterleben! Unvergesslich unsere philosophisch-musikalischen Frühstücke in der Praterstraße oder die Aufenthalte in Duino! Ruhe in Frieden, du wirst fehlen!

(we didn’t know each other very well, but i remember a few long vivid, inspiring conversations about old viols and lutes)
let us all live this short and fragile life to the fullest.
and remember him.
