  1. RT @anastasiat: Just in case you missed it in the Standard, here's the D Mail: LPO manager embezzled over $1M from the orchestra: http ... 12:16 PM Nov 23rd from web
  2. @ClassicalReview That makes me think of John Dexter at the Met in the 1970s: stripped-down aesthetic both strong and economical. 1:13 PM Nov 20th from web in reply to ClassicalReview
  3. Friday music: Why more people should know about bass-baritone Gidon Saks, take 2: http://bit.ly/4E883A 11:29 AM Nov 20th from web
  4. @galenbrown So true about overuse of "passion" in classical music: I tried to say this in my White House piece - http://bit.ly/4gHXvX 9:47 AM Nov 20th from web in reply to galenbrown
  5. On NPR, my discussion with Tom Huizenga about the past decade in classical music: http://bit.ly/1f7n1l 9:24 AM Nov 18th from web
  6. @bobopera I've never lived in King-FM's market, so can't praise/blame: it's just one of the bigger classical radio stations left in the US. 9:21 AM Nov 18th from web in reply to bobopera
  7. @rebeccapdavis @amandaameer That's the $64,000 question. (But is a Gil-like A-list career a model young artists even want to follow?) 4:21 PM Nov 17th from web in reply to rebeccapdavis
  8. @ogiovetti Well, those videos (http://bit.ly/23YUCW) were great fun - good job on finding the footage. 4:19 PM Nov 17th from web in reply to ogiovetti
  9. @otterhouse Same Gidon Saks - this video is one of his first gigs in his early 20s (he's 49 now). Good find. http://bit.ly/2vRp0i 4:17 PM Nov 17th from web in reply to otterhouse
  10. @macEoghainn Yes, I reviewed "The Audition" in April: http://bit.ly/3GFF8U (Coincidence: I also did a Times article on 2007 Met Auditions). 4:13 PM Nov 17th from web in reply to macEoghainn
  11. My newest hero: the outstanding Wagnerian bass-baritone who dreams of singing Papageno. http://bit.ly/4trppI 12:50 PM Nov 15th from web
  12. Still unsure about NEA Opera Honors "Hall of Fame" idea, but am glad to see it go to Corsaro & Rudel: their influence should be remembered. 9:35 AM Nov 14th from web
  13. @thewolfgang2 Tell me what positive side I'm neglecting. We want orchestras to survive; no secret, though, that some are having trouble. 9:22 AM Nov 14th from web in reply to thewolfgang2
  14. Food for thought: RT @NLebrecht You want to know what's wrong with the Met? http://bit.ly/1PWLPp 10:36 AM Nov 12th from web
  15. Orchestras, and newspapers, are having trouble coming up with the viable new business model they so desperately need: http://bit.ly/yM8YO 10:30 AM Nov 12th from web
  16. A non-musical aside: my personal reminiscence of the fall of the Berlin Wall. http://bit.ly/2pkzka 7:02 AM Nov 9th from web
  17. Götterdämmerung in concert? Unexpectedly - fantastic. No sets or costumes, but better than the last I saw at the Met. http://bit.ly/2qseN4 6:38 AM Nov 9th from web
  18. classicalbeat See @anastasiat for Tweets on @whitehouse #classicalmusic - she's doing a great job, so: what she said. 3:43 PM Nov 4th from web
  19. It's funny how conductors can be hailed as business-management gurus when orchestras are so notably dysfunctional: http://bit.ly/1jpScP 6:06 AM Oct 27th from web
  20. @harryfiddler Great story. Steinway marches on... (RT @harryfiddlerNearly got lynched with this story. http://tinyurl.com/yhd3tpx) 9:04 PM Oct 22nd from web in reply to harryfiddler
