...clock Rudel was at the podium raising his baton-or, rather, a thin white knitting needle-to start the Carmen overture. His instructions to the orchestra were brief and to the point: "Trumpets, didn't you notice I slowed down?" Politely but firmly he told an overeager tenor: "Please don't cut off the baritone in mid-phrase." He remained unperturbed when a voice from backstage implored: "Wait, Julius, wait.
