| I'm curious - granted, 25 years in the principal slot of a major symphony orchestra is a long time, but is there main reason that he's stepping down? Is he having a hard time keeping up with the demands of the job, or does he simply wish to live and lounge? I mean, he's been playing professionally as his main gig since 1962 - 43 years is a pretty long time to do one job by any standard.
Well, I hope he lives long and lives well, and that he enjoys the retirement that he has undoubtedly earned.
