Meanwhile, Maazel last week was named music consultant to the Pittsburgh Symphony. But wait. Hasn't André Previn been music director there for the past eight years? Yes, but three weeks ago, Previn, 55, accepted an offer from the Los Angeles Philharmonic to succeed Carlo Maria Giulini as its music director beginning in January 1986. Previn's departure from Pittsburgh was sealed when he lost an ugly power struggle with Managing Director Marshall Turkin over the orchestra's artistic direction, a rupture that Previn declines to confirm. "To lose a job is one thing...
Verdi: Falstaff (Deutsche Grammophon). Renato Bruson is an autumnal Sir John in Carlo Maria Giulini's bittersweet live recording...
...Angeles Philharmonic. With a conductor like Carlo Maria Giulini, 68, an annual budget of $17 million and record appearances on Deutsche Grammophon, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has the credentials for membership in the elect. Its sound is far from the brilliance of Chicago or St. Louis; Giulini, the eminent Italian conductor, has based the sonority he wants on the lower strings, giving the orchestra a deep, dark tone.

But his tireless work with his orchestra since the 1977-78 season has paid off in an alert, responsive ensemble, and the results show up handsomely in music close...

He and Ernest Fleischmann, the orchestra's shrewd executive director, agreed that Giulini would lead at least one fully staged opera under ideal working conditions during his tenure. Since 1968, when he performed Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro at the Met, Giulini has turned down all offers to conduct opera in the theater. Accustomed to only new productions at such major opera houses as Milan's La Scala and London's Covent Garden, Giulini...
