Norman Lebrecht says that Marin Alsop handled the Baltimore dust-up with all the aplomb, dignity, and compassion one would expect from her. “This seemed to be just another of those occasions when musicians pick the worst possible moment to air unrelated internal grievances,” but Alsop responded by quietly asking to meet with the musicians directly, and then asking what she could do to help them. “That’s Marin Alsop, through and through. Of all current conductors, she is probably the best facilitator, the one who gets things done.”
