In Reply to: "...for no reason apparent to me." So: You heard the Berlioz. What was there not to love? posted by clarkjohnsen on February 12, 2007 at 11:34:10:
I was playing Midsummer Night's Dream down at the ballet. It's not a piece I would go out of my way to hear in any event.But your general and repeated enthusiasm for Levine is not something I can relate to; I find him utterly ordinary.
Meanwhile there are issues with the band I can't not hear. At least the most musicallly destructive force in the brass has retired. A good first step, but it will be a long while.
