Never much cared for Gilbert with the NY Phil. It won’t take long for audiences in Tokyo and Hamburg to experience Gilbert-remorse.

He has been principal guest conductor in Hamburg for many years. They know him well and wouldn’t have taken him if they didn’t like him.
Tokyo Met SO, like the other Tokyo orchs, has about seven conductors on its masthead. Not a job, just a way for the orch to claim prestige.
His Nielson cycle is the best thing the NYPO have recorded since the 80s – in my humble opinion.
So, people can’t spell his name right either.
My apologies. Dyslexic foreigner on this end.
COMPLETELY agree about the Nielsen cycle! Hope more people can hear it.
No one wants to experience downward mobility.
