Didn't Jordania lead the Korean Broadcasting Service Orchestra on a
the lovely Koch recording of the _Green Mountains_ symphony? Completely
different music, of course; & therefore no gauarantee of his mastery of
the core repertoire; but a wonderful read nonetheless; & just another eg
of a talent limited more by the absence of slots for someone who isn't
an overpriced name.

Pity i'll be nowhere near Carnegie Hall next weekend....

All the best,
