Will the Gergiev concert be on WGUC?

Enquiring minds want to know, so we asked Chris Phelps over at WGUC. Here's the deal: Because the concert was special, and not part of the CSO subscription series, it was not included in their Sunday evening broadcast schedule.

But here's the good news: They did record the concert and are just waiting for Gergiev's approval for broadcast. When they know the date, I'll pass it on to you. In the meantime, here's a letter to the editor that is right on the mark. (Scroll down the page; it's at the end.)

That's exactly what I was thinking while I sat in Music Hall last week. There are many concerts that are just as exciting and well-played, on a regular basis. It's a matter of getting the word out and getting people to leave their Barcaloungers to come down and hear it.
