From Alex Ross, the god of music criticism…
A special citation for Quickest Plunge from a Great Height goes to the management and governing board of the Minnesota Orchestra.
My dear dear dear Mr. Ross, on the off-chance you’re keeping an eye on this blog….
*waves vigorously*
I wouldn’t have entertained the idea of even dabbling in music journalism if I hadn’t read The Rest is Noise. You showed me what was possible. Thank you.
Any readers of mine who haven’t yet read it, pick – up – a – copy. It will entertain and inspire you throughout the lockout. Promise.
Song of the Lark 
Wouldn’t it be totally awesome if he visited the Twin Cities this weekend??
*dreams*
I did invite Alex Ross to the concert shortly after it was announced. One can dream. Meanwhile, I’m busy red lining a letter Mike sent to me and plan to send it back to him with changes.
You go, girl.
It looks like some dreams come true!
sorry, I spoke too soon and did not read the post on my facebook page correctly.
Also read his collection of essays, “Listen to This” for shorter pieces.
Yes, do. It’s a fabulous book.
I. LOVE. ALEX ROSS. (Sorry, I’m creeping through your archives. You’ve got some awesome stuff :D)
Creep away!!
