But only if Dutoit doesn’t try to tame the stallion and/or offer yet another prime example of stale conducting. Of course, there are those few moments he surprises me!

In general, October 2008 in Philadelphia, will make my heart gush.

Been there, done that.

That’s like a double dribble or something. Unless you mean the folks in question were much cooler than Julie and then she just wandered in.

When I received the season brochure, I was pleasantly surprised to see much more adventurous program than has been the norm during the Maazel directorship. For truly adventurous programming, however, look to the American Symphony Orchestra.

Going to hear a night of great programing can lift the soul for days, weeks, and even years after.
What I like is the article and your introduction of what I would consider an exciting time for the NY Phil. Nico, I appreciate that you took this article to point out some great examples. I might actually reinstate my subscription to the Phil after so many years of just not really caring for the programing or sound. Thanks for giving me hope.

Also, what do you make of the LA Phil’s new music series, worth going to see? I’m excited, even though I don’t know hardly any of the composers.

I would love to have been at Tanglewood for the Carter Festival.

Which is just to affirm your point about the relationship between “adventurousness” and context.

Nico responds: Totally. Good performances of anything are really fun. You totally said “FOLKS” LOL.

Variety is my favorite way to go in concerts. I’m most entertained by the broadest possible range of styles that somehow thematically fit together in a musical – or any other – way.
