[f_minor] NYPO Mahher 9th interrupted by cell phone

[michael macelletti]

frankly, the " mambo-phone-counterpoint " would have been a relief during that 
dismal fourth mmt. in the mahler 9.

 Dear all
 
I read a rather amusing story today which has nothing to do  per se with GG at 
first sight:

No wonder GG did not trust audiences.
Especially not these days where this sort of stuff happens  more and more, 
theatre, cinema, even at funerals. How dumb, rude and ignorant  can you be these 
days ? Then again how come they haven’t installed one of these  nifty signal 
blockers ? Oh dear, Keith Jarrett would have had one of his  trolling and raging 
fits hehe...and were he still alive this would have been a  good argument for GG 
to claim that the concert performance is obsolete. At least  from his point of 
view anyway.
