When this couple, so prodigious in their ambition, self-deception and passion, first fell in love, she was the wife of Hans von Billow, a great Wagner admirer who often conducted his work.

One reason for the unusual arrangement was that all three wanted to keep the scandal from the young King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who was their adoring, idealistic patron.

...common. BB, when clothed, often wears a silver circle necklace with a pendant of Venetian crystal. PP, when he puts on a shirt, sports a pair of silver cuff links adorned with delicately hued beach pebbles. The jewelry is the work of a lithe Swedish girl named Torun Bulow-Hube, who lives with her husband in the tiny Riviera village of Biot and is known to a growing coterie of admirers simply as Torun. At 33, she is one of the most sought-after silversmiths alive...
