Alan Gilbert is home after 3 weeks in Covid care
OrchestrasThe former NY Philharmonic music director and present Hamburg chief sends this message via Slipped Disc:
I am grateful to the many people who reached out to me over the past few weeks, and am happy to report that after a nearly-three-week stay in hospital, I am finally back home and reunited with my family. My experience has in a very personal way confirmed what we have known all along: COVID-19 is not to be trifled with. While recent news reports from the United States and elsewhere have been encouraging, the situation in many countries is still alarming and even catastrophic. I urge everyone to continue to take this virus seriously, and if you have not yet been vaccinated, please do so as soon as possible!
I will be taking the next weeks slowly as I rebuild my strength and work towards a full recovery. My thanks to everyone for their support and good wishes. I look forward to being in touch with you all again soon. – Alan
Delighted to read this. I had been worried about him.
Good to know about Maestro”s Gilbert recovery . Could anyone tell me if he had been vaccinated before getting sick?Thank you and wish all readers good health !
Had he been fully vaccinated, only to spend three weeks in hospital, he would have made headline news.
He was very unlikely to have beeb vaccinated.
This is good news.
Nice statement. Good health!
Wishing you a full recovery, along with that of the world of live music performance!
A good message from a good man.
That’s good news all around
Good news!
Hope he will be allowed to perform freely in Berlin without complications.
covid is real, get vaccinated and be safe.
“get vaccinated and be safe”
Western industrial societies have succeeded in saving themselves first and in preventing triage in most cases, while capitalising on vaccines produced in parts of the world that are now facing severe conditions and to whom triage is probably a luxury problem.
The game has reached the next level.
So why not: “donate your vaccine to save life in India”?
Wonderful news, Alan, for your wife and children as well! Hoping very much I will see you at Tanglewood later this year. Be Well!
