MASUR’S LEGACY TO THE NEW YORK PHIL

There’s been so much talk recently about who will be the New York Philharmonic’s next music director, Kurt Masur, the NYP’s current leader has been a bit forgotten. That’s a mistake. The 72-year-old Mr. Masur, who has done so much to restore the orchestra to a lofty international standard of performance since taking it over in 1991, is to remain in place for two more seasons. – New York Times
