Just heard them do Mahler 9 last night at the Kennedy Center. Dohnanyi has the poor cellos in Wrong Seating #2. But it's certainly a splendid-sounding group otherwise. Starker's son-in-law does a great job leading. I want to ask Gary to compare his former and present orchestras for us, but I know he's too diplomatic to do so with full frankness.
