According to today’s Globe, James Levine will not return to the BSO tonight as planned to conduct the first concert in this season’s complete Beethoven symphony cycle. From what I’ve seen, I’ve enjoyed the guest conductors, particularly Ludovic Morlot’s recent program. The local in me would have liked a box set of the complete symphonies under Levine, but, I suppose that would have been unlikely even if he were in better shape.

Bryce Lambert is most comfortable in a room occupied by those >30 yrs. his senior. Perhaps that's why he started a blog on theater and classical music--or maybe it's just a symptom. His qualifications for arts criticism include an improvident English degree and some pidgin HTML. He hates Live Nation ticket fees, watching concerts via jumbotrons and buying tickets months in advance (or buying tickets at all). These are his primary reasons for going highbrow.
