In Reply to: Some thoughts on the search for a new conductor of the NYPO posted by BarneyT on April 15, 2007 at 08:41:31:
Coincidentally, Bill Maher talked about this, this weekend on on his show.Tommasini says: "In recent decades even some great conductors driven by lofty artistic principles have unwittingly contributed to the perception that orchestras are elitist."
If that means that a certainly level of sophistication/education are required to appreciate the music, is that a bad thing? Tommasini seems to be implying, whether intended or not, that orchestras need to dumb themselves down to the lowest common denominator. Wy does he think everyone needs to be able to 'get' classical music?
If the La Scala incident has humbled Muti, and he's wiling to treat such an appointment as his full time job, he'll be a terrific music director.
