It was that 2012 Prom that made it clear to me that I just couldn't stand it - the geography teacher at the sixth form disco analogy is apt .
Although some of Lenny's " serious music " leaves me rather cold some doesn't .
He has had much more impact on me as a conductor though . A legacy that keeps on giving - his recording of the Mendelssohn Italian Symphony with the NYPO coupled with an outstanding late 1960svrecorgjngvof the E Minor Vuolin Concerto i came across very recently is fantastic and the concluding Saltarello knocks all other contenders i have heard into a cocked hat
