    A concert without conductor, as a gift to a maestro. Eccentric tribute, no ?

        I know. I was just trying to create some controversy. La scalla played the entire Beethoven’ heroica without a conductor and to a closed session at the opera. Tribute for Toscanini just after his death. Only the goods deserve it. Blomstedt included for sure
