In Reply to: The New York Phil under Masur was rock solid... posted by SE on April 9, 2007 at 15:18:54:
but my father's been going regularly for 50 years and the feedback I get from him is that there's a lack of spark... that they could use the vitality and (to steal your word) imagination of a Salonen.It was only a few months ago that the NY Times wrote a piece about how the balance of power had shifted and the L.A. Phil had overtaken the NY Phil in many important parameters so I was going by that as well (they declared the L.A Phil the best in the country but that's too much of a subjective thing to declare IMO). Plus attendance is down in NY and way up in L.A.... of course WDCH is a factor there.
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
