PC-- I realize I'm in the minority on M8. I've never liked it, and I only heard it live once. LAPhil (forget who was conducting--prob. Dudamel during one of the Mahler cycles here) in the cavernous Shrine, easily the worst music venue in the world. Now I love both the LAPhil and the LAChorale, but all that went through my mind the entire night was PLEASE! Get on with The Eternal Feminine so we can get the f. out of here! (And meanwhile, let me put in another plug for the Gorecki 4th!)
