For his fare well performance at the NY Philharmonic he offered Mahler's 8th symphony a few years back...Not an easy match for the the Avery Fisher Hall. It was spectacular.. The audience and myself cheered for fifteen minutes...A great human being with spiritual qualities and fighter for justice in all arenas but not the conductor of my choice. But that 8th was monumental and it completely surprised me..The singers and chorus went all out. A guiding and brave spirit is gone. And Nadine Gordimer a kindred and angelic spirit has passed this morning...
