The spacious, plushly-furnished lobby of the swank hotel presents the observer with a curious and incongruous sight. It seems strange to see the bearded rebel soldiers, armed to the teeth, rubbing shoulders and sometimes tolerantly conversing with the Hilton's exclusive clientele, who come from all over the world.

Her cues to the orchestra were kept to a minimum: a somewhat stiff sweep of the arms to launch a movement, followed by a nod of her head or even the lift of an eyebrow to cue individual sections. Her piano itself set the tempo, which Tureck accentuated by bobbing slightly on the piano bench...
