From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Correction.......

"The first year I attended concerts at Severance Hall in 1980, Maazel was the music director, in his final season..... "

This was not accurate...... It was Maazel's next-to-last season......

I spent my sophomore year of college at UC Santa Barbara, in what would have been the 1981-82 season... Which was Lorin Maazel's last season as music director of the Cleveland Orchestra. (I remember the Cleveland Orchestra broadcasts, which at the time were nationally syndicated, host Robert Conrad stated that Maazel was leaving the Cleveland Orchestra to become the music director of the Vienna State Opera.... Which even now I thought was a curious move.... Unless his contract as Cleveland Orchestra music director was finished and not extended... But I never knew anything in regard to that.... But the Cleveland Orchestra was not ready to court a successor.) So in actuality, I missed Maazel's final season with the Cleveland Orchestra altogether.

I returned to Cleveland (Case Western Reserve Univ.) the following year, and I once again attended concerts at Severance Hall. Until I graduated in May of 1985 (Witnessed Christoph von Dohnanyi's first season as Cleveland Orchestra Music Director).
