INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT:

Brian McCreath I'm Brian McCreath at Symphony Hall with Karina Canellakis, who is here to conduct the Boston Symphony for the first time in this space, though, Karina, you have conducted the BSO a couple of times in the past. Thanks for a little bit of your time today.

I posted about back in January, and although I wasn't enthusiastic about it, the good reviews led me to recommend listening. I have no reason to change that. I presume the links in my post still work.

 Enjoy.
