Last week, Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Peter Dobrin reported that the members of the Philadelphia Orchestra had taken aside conductor Yakov Kreizberg, who had been called in at the last minute to replace Wolfgang Sawallisch on a major international tour, and asked him to cut down on the podium histrionics and stick with Sawallisch’s tempos. The orchestra’s top artistic executive agrees that the meeting took place, but insists that Dobrin overplayed the drama. “In our view, conversations between the concertmaster and conductor are a normal part of healthy music collaboration.”
