Gérard Souzay et al. in Paris - mid October, 1969
from The Later Diaries of Ned Rorem 1961-1972, page 303:
Still exhausted this afternoon for the rehearsal with Gérard Souzay and Dalton Baldwin. Dalton, cheerful, served tea with cookies swiped from the Hungarian airplane that brought them yesterday from Budapest. Gérard, haunted, no longer just a dapper genius concerned with cultured swooners one recalls at Hélène Jourdan-Morhange's years ago, sounds marvelous [sic], if insecure in English. My cycle, meant for him, indeed sounds meant for him. If they practice hard, and they will, the piece will work.
