A man after my own perspective!

Having very rarely subscribed to many conducting industry propoganda-norms, especially the politics (perhaps one of the primary reasons for the lack of a 'successful' full-time conducting career), I am extremely pleased to have heard this:

Just heard on a British classical music radio station that the vastly-recorded Valery Gergiev prefers to perform with an orchestra just slightly under-rehearsed. Apparently he thinks that over-rehearsal (which to a British musician means more than once, perhaps twice) is the bane of orchestral life, and he likes to keep musicians on their toes: a concert with some 'wits' about it produces a far better experience for everyone.

Yippee! Finally, concordance from an established household name!!!
I feel justified in another of my own perspectives, at last.
