photos from 1992 and 1993
In 1992, Albert led and played this concert by the Helicon Ensemble in Weill Hall.
P
laying on gut strings in public scared the daylights out of me, but I was grateful to Albert for the opportunity nonetheless.
After Alice Tully's stroke in 1993, Albert brought his students the Italian pianist Marco Rapetti, the Swedish cellist Johan Stern and me (whom Albert had collectively introduced to his Helicon audiences as the "Testosterone Trio," or "The Testostertones") to Miss Tully's apartment in the Hampshire House to play for her. I'm almost certain we played Brahms, though Albert has it as Schumann on p. 147 of his Alice book, among other elaborate improvisations on the facts of that extraordinary afternoon.
