OCCASIONALLY DURING a concert an orchestra achieves an emotional rapport with its audience which transcends the notes. Last Saturday night during its last performance of the season, the Bach Society and the Sanders Theatre audience struck a sympathetic chord as they bade farewell to this year's conductor, Neal Stulberg...
Auspitz wrote a Shaw fellowship recommendation for Neal H. Stulberg '76, one of 12 finalists now competing for one of the four $4000 traveling fellowships...
...Stulberg said Tuesday he sees "no conflict of interest" because of Auspitz's position on the Shaw selection committee...
This, I think, is a lesson Mr. Stulberg has yet to learn. There is a selflessness which must pervade a live performance of this sort: a respect for the composer and a pride among the assembled musicians who are allowed to produce beautiful music under an able conductor's direction. At no time should a concert become merely a vehicle for a conductor to show off his choreographic abilities with a series of bumps and grinds...
...Ingber actually did experience the concert, then her review of Mr. Stulberg was motivated by simple kindness. This, I suggest, is detrimental to your--or any--isolated academic environment. Such unwarranted flattery can only help to reinforce unhealthy or mistaken practices. All too soon will Mr. Stulberg discover the harsh and objective realities of the outside world. As a reviewer and a former reviewee, I would respectfully suggest that your reviewing and editorial staff understand that honest criticism of unhealthy traits, when used properly, can be an enhancement of the academic society and the learning experience. --Charles Carner
