The cool thing about contemporary musique is that, if you're lucky, the composer is een ze haus and you can actually cheer and clap your hands and show him how much his music means to you.
Last night in Boston, one such occasion. That sweet teddy bear of a 'froed maestro, Jimbo Levine and la Renay Fleming brought the Symphony Hall down by having 91-year-old Henri Dutilleux stand up to receive the applause that's duly his.
Inveterate opera-and-symphony-goer & friend of OC, blogger Of The Kosmos, was there.
And took a video.
