    Thank God!!! Hope he is cancer free now!

      I try not to be truly surprised by anything I see in the comments sections of this website, but I’m trying to imagine what kind of human beings would give a “thumbs down” to a post hoping that another human being is cancer-free.

    Yesterday I watched highlights of the Wiener Opernball from 2023 and FW-M looked very aged and unwell. I very much hope he is on the mend now.

    Wishing him the best.
    We all love him !

  • Evan Tucker says:

    May he have many years of great music left.

  • Guest Conductor says:

    Wonderful news! Here is to a happy healthy season and more to come for Maestro

  • Ziggy says:

    He’s a great music director but he also possesses a skill set many directors do not; he knows how to raise money and market. He knows how to program as well. Cleveland is flush which means the music continues rather than going dark like many orchestras have since 2020. Stay healthy!
