I've always wondered how people can maintain the notion that anyone who
cut such a distinctive figure in Classical Music, maintained the Boston
Symphony at an exquisite level for a quarter century, and left a legacy
as vast and varied as Koussevitsky's could have been utterly incompetent.

Is it because he married into money?
