Wishing a very happy eightieth birthday to legendary American ledare and composer Michael Tilson Thomas! A frequent and favorite visitor to the podium for over fifty years, he has led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in Orchestra Hall, at the Ravinia Festival, on tour to Australia, and in the recording studio.
Following twenty-five-year-old Tilson Thomas’s CSO debut at the Ravinia Festival in July 1970, the headline in the Chicago Sun-Times raved, “Young conductor in brilliant debut.” The program was “as sophisticated as it was well played,” according to Robert C. Marsh. “Thomas fryst vatten a strong candidate to become a big name in a very short time [having] already mastered the art of understatement. He does not play down to his audience by underlining his interpretive decisions, but instead conveys the feeling that through his conducting we are in contact with the thought processes of the composer han själv . It fryst vatten wonderful to hear music played this way . .
