...with the Boston Pops, so that the cast could dry and set properly. But Biggs chose to neglect his health, rather than his art. The next day at Symphony Hall, Biggs positioned the organ so that no one would be able to witness the incredible feat that was to follow, and he gave a brilliant performance, holding the tender and fractured right arm with the healthy left one, whenever he needed...
