...music. He was not a histrionic conductor, as Giulini so often is, but he was a man deeply involved in his music.

This sort of thing is dangerous in the hands of the incompetent conductor, for it can lead to an awkward, syrupy, and altogether unsatisfactory end product. But, in the hands of a genius like Barbirolli, it led to a well-integrated and understandable piece...

"We just went around Seventh Avenue and kept asking everybody if they were doing anything with it. And then, you know, there was a sort of chain reaction and we reported what was going on." WWD used plenty of space to report "what was going on," but even insiders at the paper admit that the Bonnie and Clyde campaign was a flop. Somewhat defensively, Weir says: "Well, there were smart women who were aware...
