Comment
- Two years ago to the day, on my 50th birthday, Sylvia and I ended up having dinner with Segerstam in Stockholm after a performance of The Makropoulos Case. So I wrote to him prior to this concert (which also happened to be on my birthday) inviting him out to dinner, along with Håkon and Karen. Unfortunately he had a prior appointment at the Finnish embassy, but we went backstage after the concert to say hello anyway. I gave him Uri Caine's CD "Primal Light" which is jazz based on themes from Mahler as a little thank you for the dinner two years ago. Four months later I got an email from his agent thanking me and saying that he'd finally got around to listening to it, loved it, and had bought 10 copies to give to friends! Oh - and the concert was wonderful.
