mlrReading about Levine's resignation as conductor of the Boston S.O., I found this:
News is also beginning to filter in about how the Boston Symphony Orchestra is solving its conducting problems for March.
The big, unfortunate, maddeningly disappointing news is that Mauricio Pollini apparently has the flu… This must be a rather recent problem, given his London recitals, but it is sufficient for him to cancel his performances of Mozart and Schoenberg next week.
In a way, that’s not that bad a thing – though I’m looking longingly at my ticket. That programme is replaced by Peter Serkin playing Bartók’s third piano concerto, accompanied by Roberto Abbado. The other pieces are the bill are unsurprisingly symphonic warhorses: Haydn’s 93rd, and Beethoven’s 5th.
Guess I won't be going to Boston. I don't feel like flying half way across the country to hear Bartók IIIP (lovely piece though it is) and Beethoven V.
