It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: There may be something unspoken behind it.

Of course there's no way I could know what's really going on but I've seen the L.A. Phil perform probably 80 times in the last 5 years and from where I sit I can see the orchestra members' faces pretty well and if seeing how they react to him on stage is a real barometer they'd have to be very good actors if they have anything but great respect, admiration and affection for him. I say that not just because of how they respond to him but also comparing and contrasting that with how they respond to other conductors.

Also, just because no prompt was mentioned in the article it doesn't mean there wasn't a prompt.

None of that means that there isn't more to it or that there aren't those in the orchestra who don't respond well to him and of course you have your own experience (I too have been at performances where I felt like what he can do and what the band can do doesn't quite come out in the music -- LVB # last season was a good example) but that's my feeeling/perception.

Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
