Every few years the music stops and a handful of big-name box-office attractions make a grab for one another's chairs. It happened a few years ago when Previn left the Pittsburgh Symphony; Lorin Maazel quit the Vienna State Opera and landed in Pittsburgh; Riccardo Muti, 47, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, added the directorship of La Scala in Milan to his resume; La Scala's former leader, Claudio Abbado, 55, headed for Vienna.

The pantry of the comfortable Brooklyn brownstone she shares with Husband Richard Engquist, 53, and their twin 17-year-old sons Erik and Lorin is stocked with grains, flour, beans, seeds, rice, potatoes and pasta. The family eats only 2 oz. of red meat three times a week. Salami, bologna, hot dogs, potato chips, cookies and soda never cross the threshold...
