Oh, Muti is just adorable. I’ve seen him twice now in Vienna. He was a good friend of Carlos Kleiber, who once conducted disguised as Boris Becker and another time as the Bhagwan!!!
This older version of Muti has been a pleasant surprise, but I speak on behalf of many who witnessed his utter lack of humor and excessive seriousness in Philadelphia when I want to grab this impostor and ask: “Who are you and what have you done with Riccardo Muti?” I suspect an alien %)
I’ve heard that criticism often. Perhaps, as an Italian, he isn’t partial to Americans? I really don’t know. But you don’t see any of that truculence here (admittedly he was in front of a camera):

LOL! Italians not partial to Americans? In general, Italians and Americans get along very well.
Philly was such a mismatch for him, Robin.
It’s a terrible song (much like Happy Birthday) but I must admit I’ve never heard it played better. And maybe it helped because the Cubs won tonight to tie the NLCS at 2-2.
Some men become curmudgeons as they age, some become cuddly bears. I guess Muti is the latter…
Get the salary and terms you want and you too will be a cuddly bear. He is no dummy.
I like Muti and the Cubs.
