But that particular musical direction is "con dolcessa," no?

SOme years ago I didn't pay attention to an interview where she
explained the origin to Gilbert Kaplan, the magnate who is obsessed wiht
Mahler's Second Symphony and used to get an hour a month on WNYC to
interview prominent Administration figures on their classical music
