I don't really understand why so many think that this is a surprise choice. The New York Phil wanted him very badly before, but Dallas beat them to signing him - this was very widely reported at the time as a major coup for the DSO. Now that Gilbert is leaving, NY got the man they wanted in the first place. Absolutely no surprise to anyone in the music world professionally.
