This looks very Regie. Would still go, though, to hear it in Paris. If I had my druthers, the post-Barenboim one at an der Linden that was on Arte a year or two ago really struck me. Sometimes you get the feeling that you're watching the story of your own life on the stage, which of course is a trick, much like a docent at an art gallery trying to strike any chord in their audience's life in order to establish some connection with the painting.
But the discipline of art that requires and rewards attention might yet prove very useful against the instant-access sensibility of television news (and, for that matter, Broadway shows).
