9、 York Philharmon to hire Alan lbert as its mus director has been the talk of the classal-mus world ever since the sudden announcement of his ointment in 2021.For the most part,the response has been favorable,to say the least.“Hooray!At last!”wrote Anthony Tommasini,a sober-sided classal-mus crit.One

10、 of the reasons why the ointment came as such a surprise,however,is that lbert is paratively little known.Even Tommasini,who had advocated lberts ointment in the Times,calls him“an unpretentious musian with no air of the formidable conductor about him.”As a description of the mus director of an orch

15、brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classal concert.One possible response is for classal performers to program attractive new mus that is not yet available on record.lberts own interest in new mus has been widely noted:Ale Ross,a classal-mus crit,has described him as a man w

22、 message to the outside world about his aspirations.And McGee isnt alone.In recent weeks the No.2 eecutives at Avon and Ameran Epress quit with the eplanation that they were looking for a CEO post.As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure,eecutives who dont get the no

45、 we need to redefine hiness:instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy,we should consider being hy as a past-tense condition.Even though the day-to-day eperience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard,Senior writes that“the very things that in the moment
