I attended a concert by the San Francisco Symphony last night. Guest conductor Kurt Masur led the orchestra in an all-Mendelssohn program of Symphony No. 4 and the Complete Incidental Music for A Midsummer Night's Dream. Maestro Masur looked a bit frail going to and from the podium, but very much in charge while he was there, getting a very clean, precise, and persuasive performance from the players--hard really to imagine how it could have been better.I was going to write more, but find myself much distracted by what's going on in Japan, and have to get taxes done by today...
