It's great to hear that the NSO is doing well. I used to work for them, sort of. One of my better jobs. And Slatkin is a character. A little bossy with his programming, kind of like a condescending dietician, but maybe he feels it's his mission to take on a pedagogical role as orchestra director, a-la Bernstein, only without all the pretty boy protege's.
Happy birthday. I keep reminding people that you get five days to celebrate your birthday, and you get to declare which five. Unless it's a big birthday. Then ten days.

There's a lengthy piece on Glass right now on NPR as I type this. I'm reminded of how much I love the soundtrack to Mishima.
(Ah - the interview, they just now said, will be up in extended form on their npr.org website.)

(The soundtrack to Mishima *is* great, I agree.)
