[Somebody is off medication again!]
By Norman Lebrecht / December 14, 2005
They are steam cleaning the streets of Vienna ahead of next
month's birthday weekend when pilgrim walks are planned around
the composer's shrines. Salzburg is rolling out brochures for
its 2006 summer festival, which will stage every opera in the
Kochel canon from infantile fragments to The Magic Flute, 22 in
all. Pierre Boulez, the pope of musical modernism, will break
80 years of principled abstinence to conduct a mostly-Mozart
concert, a celebrity virgin on the altar of musical commerce.
