Jimmy Levine's withdraw from the Met and BSO schedules continuing to get press, this time from Anne Midgette who is generally up there with the other big names in music journalism (Anthony Tomassini and Alex Ross). Before Maestro Levine's announcment there was a discussion going on fueled by Norman Lebrecht's (another big name) book "The Maestro Myth" which essentially stated that conductors were egotists and unnecessary. Anne simply connects the two discussion points and adds her own brief but to the point comment in the last paragraph of the article.
