Crib news: Maestro cancels due to imminent childbirth
mainJohn Axelrod has pulled out of the Maggio Musicale in Florence as his wife Anastasia is expecting a happy event.
He told the orchestra: ‘While I so wanted to celebrate Bernstein’s centenary and direct the fourth symphony of the Shostakovich cycle, the birth of my son is one of those moments that absolutely require my presence.’
Good for him!

Will he be missed?
They should do Shost 4 without a conductor.
Even Orpheus hasn’t done that.
John still has a career?
