He wrote an article in The New Criterion called "Who's Good?" where he did a run-through currently active of musicians whom he considers worthy. amongst conductors he wrote, "there is one indisputably great conductor in the world today: James Levine. He has no weaknesses, no gaps; he can conduct anything, with supreme understanding and musicality."But I can't let you off that easily. In the same article he said, "The music world is inordinately affected by nostalgia. The past was always golden, and the present is more like tin...Sometimes the present is, indeed, tin (and tin will be preponderant in any age). But there is much gold about, and part of musical awareness is to be...well, aware of that."
