Maestro Will here, and I also know the piece. Also, this is clearly pandering on the part of Joey toward a certain Listener JR who shall remain nameless.
NTT: I was literally listening to a recording of this piece yesterday and have heard it in concert several times. I know it quite well.
Mäkelä to the CSO: I’m very happy about this. I’ll be seeing him conduct the orchestra in Shostakovich’s 10th tonight (a piece near and dear to my heart). Taking bets on whether the audience gives him a standing ovation at the start of the concert in light of the announcement.
Tone Praise: I wish a legal solution were not necessary, as music directors should just recognize that Candide is the Most Perfect Overture, and so should WANT to program it every concert. But until such time as everyone comes to their senses, we will have to rely on force of law.
