Kurt Masur

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Last night I attended a San Francisco Symphony concert, where Kurt Masur led the orchestra in performances of Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony and a complete performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", with a narrator taking several roles.

I hadn't seen Masur in the flesh since he was just an energetic kid in his 60's - he is now over 80, and one wonders how much time he has left with us. However, he led beautiful performances of these works, and although there was an imperfection here or there, or a slightly slow tempo, it was an evening of enchanting and joyous Mendelssohn led by a master.
