                    [Title] => A Coup for Ambassador Jess
                    [Summary] => German Ambassador Herbert D. Jess scored a veritable coup with his presentation of eminent pianists Ingrid Santamaria and Reynaldo Reyes at his residence, setting up two grand pianos in the living room for the special occasion.


The pianists, who have been proselytizing throughout the country for the 113th time on their "Romantic Music Journey"–often under the most trying conditions–interpreted Brahms’s Concerto No. 1 in D Minor and Liszt’s Concerto No. 1 in E Flat Major, with Ingrid as soloist and Reynaldo taking the orchestral part.

Jess who himself had presented many leading pianists at his own residence.  Written invitations had mentioned only "Nena and Friends"; accordingly, everyone sat up and took notice when Mr. Jess played with Nena no less the opening Sonata for four hands in D Major by Mozart.

In 1923, the American conductor Paul Whiteman commissioned Gershwin to compose "a large work in the jazz idiom" for an all-American concert.  The result was Rhapsody in Blue which, performed at NY’s Aeolian Hall, made Gershwin famous overnight. "It was  the coming of jazz into the concert hall."
