Fortuitously did not attend work today due to illness.  Fortuitous in that I was able to hear the entire live broadcast of BSO led by the 33 year old conductor Vasliy Petrenko.  I enjoyed the entire program.  The Rachmaninoff "Isle of the dead" was my favorite of all on the program.  The Shostakovich 10th symphony was quite good.  I got the feeling that the BSO responded well to Petrenko.  I would have liked to have been in attendance.  Symphony Hall is a 10 minute walk from my home.  The same performance will be repeated tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m.  If I could just get rid of this blasted head cold & sore throat I would like to go.  There was quite a bit of coughing and throat clearing in the auditorium as the performance proceeded.  Evidence of the weather change here in Boston.
