...ambitious program featuring works that span the spectrum of musical genres. From the classical symphony of Beethoven’s 7th to the Neo-classical ballet of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” to the new horn concerto of famed American composer Elliott Carter, concertgoers young and old indulged in another musical treat of the highest quality in historic Symphony Hall. In just under five years, Levine has brought fresh musical interpretations to the score and immaculate playing to the orchestra, heightening the reputation of the BSO as one of the leading orchestras...

To predict "the end of the American era," as Michael Elliott does, is both premature and foolish.
