This review is from: Maestro of the Met- James Levine & Friends (Audio CD)

I confess that I hadn't ocunted James Levine among my favorite conductors, in part becasue I've heard some faceless performances from him, in part because his mentor, George Szel, was such a meanie. But this celebration of his quarter century at the Met, which one can pick up very cheaply, shows Levine off at his best. It includes snippets from both his oepratic and orchestral work on Dg. Altogether there are lots of gems that lead me to want the complete sets from which they were extracted. But on its on this is a very enjoyable Two-fer.
