Aaron - I think you'll be surprised how wonderful this concert will be.
Ling has never given less than a sterling performance among those I've
heard, and I'm looking forward to his Mahler 1 later this month, when he
takes over the subscription series that Christoph Eschenbach was to have
led, but which he opted out of -- petulence in the face of FWM's
appointment that is most unbecoming professionally.  Well, JaJa, this is
your chance to shine.
