| Richard Nass was the Metropolitan Opera English Horn player. He did the onstage solo at the start of TRISTAN, Act III. He passed away this month. I believe he was about 94 years old. I'll never forget hearing him play. Gorgeous. And I'll never forget his friendship during my formative years. His father would come to rehearsals. His young daughter Jenny would also come to rehearsals. With Richard it was music FIRST. The images are from 1971. The figure in the shadow of the stage shot is Tom Stewart as Kurvenal. |
