Levine told the orchestra that perhaps this was their last concert together and they played like mad-people with a perfect cast...absolutely electric And back when I was a kid, much loved, very young Italian conductor Guido Cantelli died in a plane crash and the NewYork Phil under Dimitri Mitropolous performed Strauss' Death and Transfiguration in tribute and the Phil as the Met did above played like crazy people.
