Not interested in the NYPO vacancy. Seems no one wants it at the moment. Can't be simply the Hall or the dagger politics.

And he was seriously considered last time around too. It would be more accurate to say, no one wants it for more than about nine seasons. The only recent music director there who was probably forced out before he wanted to leave was Kurt Masur. Before that, you would have to go back to Dmitri Mitropoulos.
Sinopoli said no. Barenboim said no. The list goes on and on...
There's a powerful board and ultra-wealthy donors, and they aren't going to be pushed around by some star prima donna, and the prima donnas know it and stay away. Alas, rather than go for someone energetic, imaginative and young but lesser-known, and maybe even American, they usually like their MDs conservative, older and European with (they assume) a healthy respect for their authority. Alan Gilbert was a special case with his family ties and history with the orchestra.
Contrast that with the Baltimore Symphony, who essentially made Marin Alsop their MD for life.
Good insight! I agree. Donors a Wall Street collective.
