an, für und über das Abegg Trio
Raleigh, 9.9.2007
Thank you!
I’ve
been writing about music for 30 years – almost as long as you’ve
been performing together, but I’ve rarely experienced anything like
your visit, so I am, atypically, surrendered at a loss for words. We
have heard many fine performances by many great artists and
ensembles, and we’ve been honored to know some of them personally,
too, but I think nothing – nothing
–has held a candle to this weekend of concerts that you have given
us. It’s not just
the music. It’s not just
the artistry. It’s the totality
of the experience that will I suspect remain among the most memorable
musical events of our lives.
We
are so overwhelmed and hope you will accept some small tokens of our
personal esteem for you as artists and as people.
For
all you have done and for your many kindnesses and for your
friendships Nancy and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I
know that this weekend with Beethoven and with you will sustain us
until we meet again.
Stay well – keep playing!
With heartfelt gratitude and thanks
John & Nancy Lambert
