I remember Steinberg from his days as reviewer for the Boston Globe. 
He was famous for his (to me) meretricious vitriol.  Once, for example,
when Carlo Maria Guilini guest conducted the Boston Symphony, he compared
his conducting to to the way Groucho Marx might have lead the orchestra.
The players tried to have him declared persona non grata, but things
were smoothed over.
