“In an extremely rare public flare-up in the outwardly genteel world of major symphony orchestras, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, the 77-year-old maestro… pulled out of the entire run of four concerts he was scheduled to conduct with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is outraged, he said yesterday, at how disrespectfully, in his view, the BSO administration had marketed his appearances to the public.”
