Speaking of conductors with bad hair, the mullet-tastic Woody Harrelson impersonator / conductor Stefan Anton Reck will conduct -- tomorrow night and on Sunday night at Teatro Comunale di Firenze, with Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino -- our beloved Ein deutsches Requiem. Radio Tre will record the concert and it will be broadcast next month.
And in the Sidney Morning Herald maestro Gianluigi Gelmetti -- who sports a nice gray Caesar haircut, it's always a crowd-pleaser -- writes about Brahms and the mighty Sergiu "Slow Like Honey" Celibidache.
