Where was the NY Times when the Israel Phil came by?
NewsWe’re hearing lots of complaints about shrinking classical reviews in the parish news sheet.
There are puff-features aplenty about upcoming performances, but the hard grind of professional reviewing has gone off the boil.

The Berlin Philharmonic waited several days for a review.
Others are missing out altogether.
