Yes, the full CSO press release makes this pretty clear. But, what I'm having trouble with is, who are they waiting for? When I see excited references to "Ricardo Muti being available", I begin to look for signs of the apocolypse.
When you consider that even "another Barenboim" seems out of reach, the idea of "another Reiner or Solti" appears silly. I guess I'm wondering if the genus had simply reached near extinction. Maybe it's time to look for another model, not so centered on the all-mightly MD? Is it barely possible the CSO has some ideas in that realm of radical thought?
