Michael Tilson Thomas: I’ll be back

Michael Tilson Thomas: I’ll be back

Our session for Radio 3’s Lebrecht Interview with MTT lasted almost two hours and much of the sidebar stuff ended up in BBC bins.

However, not to be forgotten is Michael’s pledge to return to London in October … with nothing less than Mahler’s 2nd symphony.

The LSO concerts are on October 20 and 23 at the Barbican and it marks the start of fireworks for MTT’s 80th birthday year.

For a man who received a medical death sentence three years ago, he’s sounding pretty upbeat.

The Lebrecht Interview can be heard online for the next month here.
