    I’m looking forward to their Strauss.

    • Paul Johnston says:

      Nah, the Strauss can wait. (Well, no, I picked it up a couple of weeks ago.) But—oh man—Bill was amazing in the PSO/Honeck’s Brahms 2 earlier in this new season! And that makes Strauss just seem trivial. Maybe Bill has achieved something like Nirvana: you cease to be merely an excellent horn player and become one with the Art. Well, um, something like that.
