there's several things gonna be really
really cool first act of defaulting with
our new music director yah punch made me
and Strauss with Alpine Tiffany which
I've never gotten offended Philharmonic
and one of his orchestra specialties so
that's going to be just an unbelievable
experience 9 horns on stage and 12
points off stage who presented a kinetic
I'm very much looking forward to playing
the Mozart Sinfonia Concertante and all
the Bernstein things will be very
interesting and of the Bernstein's as it
is the Jeremiah age of anxiety we
haven't found them for a very long time
so that should be fun for the new season
the most I look forward to are a couple
weeks to is our new next news director
Gabon Sweden and they'd be wonderful to
work with him and the special one
program is Muller 5 it was the my
favorite piece and will be so wonderful
to get to work that piece with him I am
especially looking forward to performing
Don Quixote by Strauss next season it
has a particular historical resonance
for the New York Philharmonic it happens
to have been on the program in 1943 when
Leonard Bernstein age 25 stepped in at
the last minute for an ailing Bruno
vaulter to conduct the Philharmonic at
Carnegie Hall one of the pieces that I
am most looking forward to this season
is of course Don Quixote it's one of my
favorite pieces in the repertoire and
I'm especially excited that Leonard
slackin will be conducting this piece
because I had one of my earliest musical
experiences with this piece with Leonard
Slatkin when I was principal violist of
the Minnesota Orchestra another piece
that's coming up this season is the
Vaughan Williams variations on a theme
by Thomas Tallis which has one of the
most beautiful viola solos ever written
so I'm very excited it's been a while
since we've done that scene
