Masur touched on that...said that in his tenure he had broken through the "prima donna" barrier that most of the NYPO had when he arrived and developed a strong working relationship with most of the orchestra. He implied that NYPO management was the major problem; trying to impose itself on artistic decisons and interposing itself between him and the musicians. In '97, when he learned they wanted him to "retire" in 2000, he suggested that NYPO immediately recruit a young associate conductor so there could be continuity instead of a sharp turn-over. This idea was rejected.Isn't it more typical of the really successful conductors that they be showmen too; Stokowski, Bernstien, Karajan. Perhaps Masur was too workmanlike in his manner; a NY conductor NEEDS a big ego. It will be interesting to see if Maazel can introduce the strict Szell-style discipline to NYPO that he successfully reintroduced in Cleveland.
