Boston regrets: Dohnanyi is still poorly
mainFrom the BSO press office:
At the advice of his doctors, Maestro Christoph von Dohnányi regrets that he cannot appear with the Boston Symphony this summer at Tanglewood. He is continuing to heal from a fall he suffered earlier this year and looks forward to leading the BSO as scheduled in November.
His replacements are David Zinman and Juanjo Mena.
INSANITY =def. repeatedly scheduling Christoph v. D after repeated cancellations due to ill health. He cancelled on the Chicago SO a year ago, this year, and is still scheduled to conduct next year.
Coz people want to see him conducting. The expectation is high, the occasion is rare. Sometimes the Vorfreude is even more wonderful than the actual concert experience.
