Slatkin is one of our greatest conductors ever produced in this country. I played under him for many years when he guest conducted the Grant Park Symphony. The most complicated and complex works he know how to take them apart by having different orchestra sections reh. them together and after ,when we all joined together, - it was like a tight finished puzzle.....Ive never played with a conductor who could accomplish that task any faster then he.

I know that you have been doing this for a while, but I wanted to let you know that I just discovered it this evening while listening online to the 9th (I had a ticket but fell ill and could not attend), and am very excited to have made this discovery. Thank you so much for this education.

Thank you very much, Maestro. I greatly admire your work. First heard you decades ago in The Complete Gershwin you recorded with the St Louis Symphony. To this day, it remains in my ear and heart the definitive interpretation of Gershwin. 👏🏆🎶

the most dramatic intro with the least dramatic expression

This is my newest hobby during COVID isolation. I stand in front of my super stereo system and lead my virtual orchestra! ( I'm not very good yet at coordinating the hand movements - sorta looks like I'm swatting flies).

My Idea of Living the Good life is, to be able to pass down Knowledge that you have acquired and share it to the world, I am being lectured by Greatness himself. I hope to be one of the greatest Conductor of my DLC group.
