Did anybody on the list listen to the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra performing Beethoven Symphony 7 Sunday evening of KMZT FM (KMozart)? This was one of the most disappointing performances of the seventh that I've ever heard. Articulations and tempos where not what I remember from when I have performed it and some of the intonations were 'iffy'. Maybe the musicians were reacting to a lack luster direction from "maestro" Kahane, I think was his name. Was this something new in the world of music or am I an elitist SOB?
