I was under the impression he's content with his expanding role in Salzburg, guesting with top-tier ensembles elsewhere, studying obscure scores like Hindemith's "Sancta Susannah" and promoting lesser-known Italian composers like Martucci and Petrassi. Hey, maybe he'd dust off some Bottesini.Adrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275988872730235045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388014615339890178.post-74710466319432316122007-10-20T01:55:00.000-05:002007-10-20T01:55:00.000-05:00Having just returned from seeing Mahler 6 with Hai...Having just returned from seeing Mahler 6 with Haitink, I can't help but wonder if Muti would ever be able to achive such a performance. I saw the orchestra under Muti and they played well, very well, but somehow Haitink was able to bring out all the best qualities of the classic CSO sound while also subduing some of the negative aspects of that sound. Muti had the orchestra sounding more like Muti than Tchaikovsky or the CSO. How does one conductor do this and not another. It's a mystery. Too bad Haitink couldn't agree to stay on long term.Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07647290892872918969noreply@blogger.com
