Litton, as a musical magician who understands music and knows how to organize sound, is one of the best conductors of our age. His musical takes are exciting, majestic, sounding "right". As for Bergen PO, the level of your music making is so great that only one who can embarrass himself is a conductor. That applies to many contemporary conductors, soloists and orchestras - competitiveness in the art of musical reproduction resulted in top orchestras being constituted of 80 to 100 instrumental virtuosi that can tackle any task. Conductor's dream became reality, now it's all up to his imagination, to his visible (audible) inner being - whether he/she/it is able, whether he/she/it "gets" the piece or not. Litton is one of the best "getters" and similarly to older eras great performing names he's rightfully cherished by the audiophile community.
