The old, German word says it all: Chorrepetitor.
That is factory work. And CSO is cheap. They pay poorly.
That is most unfair. The CSO is not cheap.
Consider Muti’s perks: they are quite extraordinary. I’d go as far as saying that no other orchestra would match them. Even if they could 😉
Another Master retires. Brilliant choral director. Enjoy it when it comes Maestro! You’ve earned it for sure !
Wolfe is existing on a high note into a very deserving retirement. He has done a great job in the past 2 plus decades, as the CSO chorus continues to shine. I only wish the current CSO resound label would issue more release involving them.
OK I have to give allegiance to my own name, and rat Muti out.
The reason why the CSO label does not feature them more often is because the Big Maestro has disdain for Maestro Wolfe and doesn’t consider him nearly up to the task. Mr. Wolfe’s biggest perceived fault, according to the Boss, is that he is incapable of teaching the choir proper Italian diction.
As if the Boss knew how to pronounce English.
Maestro Wolfe, we enjoyed your work, and you, much more than we enjoyed Muti.
