Absolutely agreed about Dyer--the review and the last sentence. (And
I add Ozawa and the BSO to that statement.) The other Boston paper, the
Herald, also reviewed it. That review was quite negative. I don't have it
any more, so I forget the details, but beyond the work, I remember mention
that Levine, and perhaps the orchestra, seemed perfunctory in their
treatment of the work, as if bored.
