    Foster is a superb, underrated conductor! Singers love him and he seems to know how to treat the musicians he deals with in order to get the best results!! I have always been impressed whenever I have been lucky enough to have been present when he is in charge! Lucky Poles!

    Instead of “Maestro Waltz: US Veteran Lands Polish Orchestra”, didn’t you want to use a headline starting with “Polish Regression…”, or does the regression start at age 77?
