...orchestra performed three pieces: Aaron Copland's "An Outdoor Overture," Gabriel Faure's "Pelleas et Melisande suite, op. 60" and Edvard Grieg's "Piano Concerto in A Minor, op. 16." Vosgerchian, who is also the Naumburg Professor of Music, was featured as piano soloist in the final piece...
...choice, excuses and mistakes are possible, even reasonable. One is left with oneself and the screams, like two opponents. The Kitty Genovese case of 1964 keeps coming back, in which a young woman in Queens screamed for help, and everybody heard, and nobody helped. What were we to do?

Each of Alvin's 100-ft.-per-minute descents from the mother ship Atlantis II required 2 1/2 hours, during which Ballard tried to relax by listening to the recorded music of Edvard Grieg.

The puzzle is how to connect the remembered knot of constant fear, the moments of horror and exhilaration in combat, with the tranquil landscape beyond the beach. It is a vision by Edvard Munch imposed on a romantic painting from la Belle Epoque. Some of the veterans, now mainly in their 60s, simply sit down on the beach and stare out to sea. For others, the contrast between recollection and reality, that old trick of time, brings tears to the eyes...
