    That was almost the Symphony of 999.

    Funny coincidence. When Charles Dutoit left the Montreal Symphony in 2002, one of his upcoming concert was to be Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 for the opening of the Lanaudière Festival. He was replaced by… Eliahu Inbal.

      Good news in what respect? Are you celebrating that someone is ill?

        Good news that…
        …the concert isn’t cancelled.
        …the original program remains unchanged.
        …the conductor filling in for Kent Nagano has been credited with very good Mahler readings.
        All of that is without celebrating someone falling ill.
