disappointment

The last thing I wanted to hear after getting home from work today was that Lorraine Hunt Lieberson has had to withdraw from her upcoming SF Symphony performances, but so it is. Petrushka will be played instead of the Ruckert Lieder. I've been riveted by so many great performances by her, dating back to the 1980s in Boston, when both of us were starting out (she in giving and I in attending concerts), that it might be greedy to ask for more, but . . . I can't help it, that's why we keep going. Best wishes to Ms Hunt Lieberson for a speedy recovery.
