[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.
