What is Marin Alsop listening to now?

[susanwen]

Maestro (maestra?) Marin Alsop is the new music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Here is the playlist for her IPOD:

Dixie Chicks: Not Ready to Make Nice
Thelonious Monk: Body and Soul
Leonard Bernstein: conducting the Mahler symphonies
John Adams: Fearful Symmetries and Nixon in China
John Eliot Gardiner: conducting the Beethoven symphonies
Varese: Arcana and Ameriques
Brahms Symphonies: conducted by everyone
Bernard Haitink: conducting Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle
Leonard Bernstein: conducting Mass
Norah Jones: Not Too Late

a bit eclectic, eh? Not enough Beethoven to please us, but she is going to include six of the Beethoven symphonies in her first season at the BSO.

How did you get this very private information?

Not private at all. They sent me a flier to get me to resubscribe, with this chatty little tidbit.
