Finally, in August 1988, Berge, the dynamic president of Yves Saint Laurent, was appointed to run the project. Five months later, he set off the biggest flap of all when he unceremoniously fired Daniel Barenboim and shelved the conductor's programming plans. By May of last year, when Chung, plucked from | the obscurity of the Saarland Radio Orchestra in West Germany, was named Barenboim's surprise successor, the new administration had little more to offer than a notion that the house would open early this year, with something, sung by somebody or other.

His latest biographer notes with some bemusement that there is a kind of shrine to his memory at Illinois' evangelical Wheaton College: one of his old tankards is enclosed there in glass, like a relic.
