Make it a point to get yourself up to the Berkshires this summer. The most important thing going on there, as always, is the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood under the supervision of Seiji Ozawa, and the program for this summer looks particularly good. For $3.50, you can guarantee yourself a spot on the lawn for a picnic and listen to, on July 18 for example, Ozawa conduct an all-Haydn program. Access is easy--exit 1 on the Mass Pike, and buses from Boston...
Local flunkies are betting on Seiji Ozawa, the Boston Symphony's youthful conductor, for an honorary parchment...
Miki's tough talk was the latest act in a prolonged, almost Kabuki-style drama that pits him against most of the Daimyo (feudal lords) in his own party.

There are, however, some difficult complications that have enhanced Miki's staying...
...replace a swinging conductor who wears a Beatle hairdo and wows the crowds with his lithe podium acrobatics? If the man is Seiji Ozawa, the answer is, not easily.

He is Holland's Edo de Waart, 34, the orchestra's current principal guest conductor and, since 1967, conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic. Like Ozawa, De Waart has charm, good looks and lots of hair. He also...
When Rostropovich is not playing the solo part, he often conducts with his bow; when he is playing, he conducts with his head and his body gestures. Rostropovich and Seiji Ozawa seem almost to dance together, even when they lose eye contact. If Rostropovich has a comment to make to the orchestra--and he knows every instrument's part--he demonstrates what it should sound like on his cello. Rostropovich is a thorough musician, and when he plays or rehearses with an orchestra, he takes charge...
