In Reply to: "I find him utterly ordinary." Unlike Dyer, Schwartz, Gantz, Medrick, Katz, Eichler and every other Boston critic. posted by clarkjohnsen on February 12, 2007 at 12:30:18:
based on the company I keep, particularly critics, some of whom on that list I find myself disagreeing with on a regular basis. (The horror!) I'd wager that if you looked back at the press clippings back when Ozawa began his tenure you might find similar unanimity. Folks thought differently later on. Or some of them did, at any rate--those who didn't need to keep the door open for feature interviews."Pity you leave yourself out of this loop."
----That's just silly.
"The orchestra seemed to take a few extra moments to settle into its standard level of transparency and precision, but it just grew stronger and stronger as the night wore on, with many distinguished solo contributions. The sensitive English horn solos that accompany Marguerite's second song were a particular pleasure."
----You might note that I have never, ever, questioned the abilities or musicianship of any member of the BSO. A finer bunch of musicians you will not find. Some of them are my friends. But there are certain intrinsic issues there, unrelated to individual virtuosity, that prevent them from sounding as good together as they might, or have. Levine has his work cut out for him.
You seem to want everyone to be on "Jimmy's" bandwagon. I don't see any particular reason why everyone should, and I haven't noticed that you place much stock in group-think, either, apart from this. Chill.
