LA PHIL'S UP
The only cultural entity that we have become attached to since we moved west, is the LA Philharmonic.
I have to admit that is mostly because the Boston Symphony had become such a moth eaten instititution with the jap in the lead.
Yeh, I know that is racist. Wanna make something of it?
We have deeply enjoyed the work and vision of Esa-Pekka Salonen and now look forward to the new guy.
Christ. I just got used to spelling Esa-Pekka.
Gustavo Dudamel!
Not a bad moniker at all. Conductor of the people.
The thing is that , while I could not spell Esa-Pekka without looking, I could say it.
Now, I can spell Dudamel but I am not sure how to say it.
I think it will work out.
