Somehow, my wife got the idea that Jennifer Frautschi was full of herself, based on a feature about her on the television program, "Breakfast with the Arts" (back in the days when A&E actually featured, you know, ARTS programming - I guess that the current "intervention" type programming they feature now gets greater audience share and makes the station more profitable - yeay!). But I digress. . .
I suspect that your notice of similarities of the NM players to the great players in the Cleveland Orchestra is right on. My own opinion is that players have gotten so good today, that the "great" names of the past might not have stood out so much if they were in today's environment.
Glad you enjoyed it! Madeline and I have really enjoyed Albuquerque ourselves the couple of times we've been there, although we haven't been there for a long time and did not attend any concerts there. Do you know if the "High Noon" restaurant is still there? Back in the day, we thought it had great food, and the acoustic guitarist who played there was really good in our opinion.
