Perhaps I'm opening myself up for slaughter, but I have enjoyed many of
the Muti recordings I've heard. Most of them are not opera. Prior to his
arrival in Philadelphia I admit I had not paid much attention, but I've
found many of the recordings I have heard with Philadelphia interesting,
and frequently have new insight for me.

Wow, I wonder what your referring to.

I feel like an outsider now. Am I alone?
