I get excited about the most trivial things.
I see in the news today that Riccardo Muti has accepted the maestro position at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He's a scintillating conductor and the Chicago has lacked a leader like him since Sir Georg Solti left (Daniel Barenboim wasn't that good, in my opinion). This is great news for American music lovers to see Mr. Muti back as a maestro, something he hasn't done in the USA since 1992. It's a thrill to see a great orchestra that needs a great leader get one.
