I frequently tell my students about the difficulties I encountered. Even I, in mid-career, sometimes suffer from the idea that very successful cellists had just one success after the other. Thanks for the earthy reminder. It’s great to hear about this stuff. I frequently tell my students about the difficulties I encountered.

Count me among the many admirers of your art. I just learned last night, while having dinner at my home in Chicago with an old friend who plays cello in the Milwaukee Symphony, that you're in Milwaukee tonight playing. I'm green with envy! I very much hope you make it back here soon. I was telling my friend about a very memorable night at Ravinia that you gave us many years ago, probably around 1985 (I don't think I'm conflating two concerts, but maybe I am). You played the Brahms Double with Shlomo Mintz and the Dvorak--and you broke a string near the beginning of the latter and had to start over after fixing your gear. I missed the train back home that night, but it was well worth the trouble. Safe travels to you, and if you happen to meet an MSO cellist tonight named Peter, consider surprising him by saying that your friend Jeff from Chicago says hello. Take care and safe travels to you.

I know your father is Mack Harrell, and that he sang at the Met. I recently heard his great voice for the first time on a recording of Bach cantatas w/ Shaw. I would be appreciative if you could write about him as a musician, as well as (if you don't mind) perhaps your relationship with him. Peter Mr. Harrell,
