New Yorker quote[edit]

The article creator added the following to the article Of his conducting, The New Yorker magazine has called the playing of Protopapas-led orchestras "Most impressive...fluid and idiomatic..." citing the New Yorker. What Alex Ross actually said is Jokey detachment was the main flaw of this generally lively and well-rehearsed production, directed by Tara Faircloth. Most impressive was the fluid, idiomatic playing of the orchestra, under the direction of Kostis Protopapas. I have removed the sentence, which is not supported by the citation. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:15, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
