All I can say is for shame. How can you criticize someone who has had a
career that has lasted over 50 years. Maazel may be no Karajan or
Bernstein, but I have never heard him make any comment that he believes that
he is superior to either.

I myself am not a "fan" of Maazel, and I normally would not take such a
position. HOWEVER, you are not a conductor. IMHO, no musician's career
would have such longevity without some validation.

I just saw a video of Maazel conducting the National Orchestra of
France in Enescu's Romanian Rhapsody #1 with someone named Larry Adler
doing the solo on......

Why is Maazel considered to be such a great conductor? IMHO he lacks even
the slightest bit of self-criticism, considering himself to be a greater
conductor than Karajan and Benstein together. When you hear his
compositions - I recently was so unfortunate to hear him play his own
violinconcerto! - you will agree, I am sure, that my point of view is only
strengthened by it.
