So well subscribed was the event that Rostropovich found himself playing the Saint-Saëns Concerto No. 1 in A minor in the hockey rink. He also gave some free advice to Brown student cellists ("Technique must come before interpretation"), donned a Brown sweatshirt and won over the campus with his exuberance. One overwhelmed Brown vice president rubbed his cheek bemusedly and said, "I've never been...
