Well Tom,i am completely agree with you.It's interesting the comment of
Len about it.I remember when somebody (about the 80s,when i was living at
NY)ask me exactly the same thing (Ozawa was 19 years younger than now),and
then i answer to him:I don't care if a frog conduct the NY Philarmonic,if
the frog make it good.  Of course,as i told in a previous message,i think
Ozawa was in a life vacation from music.  Regards.
