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

    • Suzanne says:

      No, it’s musicians giving music to a revered musician. A wonderful gift.

        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

  • Bruce says:

    Haha, that was wonderful!

  • Peter Phillips says:

    And Happy Birthday to you as well, Norman.
