Ross: NY Better Off Without Muti
Alex Ross says that there's no reason for the New York Phil to be lamenting the loss of Riccardo Muti to Chicago. "After two music directors of the elder-statesman type, it was time for a younger leader, one alert to the challenges and opportunities of presenting classical music in modern America... [Alan] Gilbert now has more room to make his mark, without the shadow of a jet-set celebrity conductor hanging over him." The Rest Is Noise 05/07/08
