Thank you for the fascinating reply! What’s in a name? it’s a site to show respect if nothing else. The least i can do is spell it right, AND address one as they wish to be addressed. Among other gifts to be envied, I can imagine what it’s like to have a four letter name.

Comment on Book of Dialogues by Mrs John Claggarr

Thanks, though I am changing my name to Mrs. John Claggart, who could ever manage the name Innaurato? NO ONE, that much I know. I got to like Muti very much and have heard truly great performances from him in concert; opera really is a more collaborative enterprise and singers need more flexible support than he will give, unless he’s really convinced the music allows for it (on the other hand when he can establish a rapport he’s wonderful with that particular singer).. He’s an amazing musician and technician, also a virtuoso pianist (when Richter rehearsed the Brahms Second with just another piano instead of the entire orchestra Muti played and Richter stood up and cheered him at the end. He was a student at the time!!) But so many factors apply for any high profile conductor that I can easily imagine those who aren’t convinced and as for the careerism….!.

[…] I had a natural experiment last night at the Four Seasons Centre, watching Lucia di Lammermoor. It was the second time i’d seen the production. I sat beside someone who didn’t know the story but who had seen my review. […]

[…] in debates about work that’s denigrated because lots of people love it. I’ve written about Tosca for example. And although it’s hard to believe, poor Bernard Herrmann denigrated his own work in […]
