On short notice, Maestro Levine will step in to perform the role of the tyrannical diva, replacing Tyne Daly who is “disenchanted”.

James Levine and Pierre-Laurent Aimard team up for a rare production of Ravel’s “Bomblero”.

There once was a maestro named Jimmy
Whose stick technique caused him to shimmy
His plus-sized derriere
Landed splat on Pierre
Who said “Zut! Quelle downbeat he gimme”

“No… wire… hangers. What’s wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you: no wire hangers EVER? I work and work ’till I’m half-dead, and I hear people saying, “She’s getting old.” And what do I get?”

You took the words right out of my mouth. He looks like like he just ripped out a huge fart.

Don´t shoot the piano player, he´s doing his best. But by all means, laser beam the maestro.

I admit to a mighty curiousity to know what the real circumstance was that led to this “unusual photo”. Cara La Cieca, could you please enlighten us at some point?

“Damn – that diaper is itchy tonight!”

I think I prefer the former, more moribund Levine.

Pianist to Levine: “Excuse me, did I miss a cue …or did you ‘open your lunch’ by mistake? “

Perhaps if we hear now , that patrons didn’t like a perfomance at the MET and had close seats to the orchestra / and James L. was conducting… the photo might give ‘the clue’ – why not!
Just teething troubles from Gelb’s innovation of ‘Live HD Smell-o-Rama’!

Hey jam2063…I accept your thoughts. Jimmy L. is what you would call ‘being RIPE!’ What I want to know is what TYPE of cheese, is it ? Perhaps a rancid Gorganzola? …….Nah! Has to be one of those abombinable aquirmy ‘bombs’ – like Dutch ‘Fynbo’. I am much too respectful…’you know me’ to actually state what they taste like…..but, I think , you can guess.. Absolute f#*kin’ s#*t!

“and THAT’S the way it is”

It strongly suggests that Levine has just cut the cheese in a major way and that the pianist is (appropriately) shocked and disgusted.
