and disagree with this and that the maintenance of the symphony orchestra is being handled appropriately. finding 35, i will agree with. i think we should agree with that the arts commission has chosen symphony as beneficiary of those funds. finding 36 that the arts commission without legal or practical recourse, if the money's revoked, the 40% is revoked, understand the comment. again, practically speaking i have to disagree because they can't come forward for supplemental appropriations. i hope the doesn't happen. but practically speaking i will disagree with that. the manner in which the arts commission funds its operations by giveback donations creates at least an appearance of fiscal improprietary and -- the intent of the charter. i mean i could go with partially guess agree but i do disagree with that. i understand the appearance but i think by the letter of the law everything is above board. i appreciate raising the issue, if you will. colleagues i don't know if you have any comment but i would suggest disagree with that. and then finding 38 about the funding of 600,000 would agre

occasions, voted in a tax, an adadd vel orm tax, a property tx for the purpose of maintaining a symphony orchestra that tax now generates $2 million annually. we think that that's wise. look at what happened to the san francisco symphony. it's world-reimpound. renowned. it has done everything that it was intended to be. however we uncovered a contract between the san francisco arts commission and the san francisco symphony, which is a four year contract starting in 2010, running through 2014, in which the san francisco arts commission gives the san francisco symphony $2 million. the san francisco symphony, however, gives back to the arts commission, 40% of that, or $800,000. there are no restrictions on the use of that money, and there is no requirement or actual experience in the last number of years, for the san francisco arts commission to use that money to maintain a symphony orchestra. a clear violation of the intent of the charter. the $2 million tax and the giveback are in the same piece of paper. so one cannot say that they were not meant to be coupled. in addition -- and so we think -- we

too the program, we begin this evening with riccardo muti, the music director of the chicago symphony orchestra. >> it is fantastic musicians and know exactly what you are doing. they have, because of wonderful musicians their own ideas about interpretation, so the conductor has to bring the musicians to his ideas, not necessarily convincing them that it is the only possible idea, but the only good idea, but it is one possible idea, so convincing that they, even with different ideas can follow you. >> rose: we conclude with david miliband, the former secretary of the united states kin.>> i think, the vision, we e running out of road. >> rose: right. >> and i think to have snood the way of that would have put ourselves in an impossible position. i don't buy the argument that the arab spring has become an arab winter, i just don't buy that. >> rose: right. >> that is not to say that there aren't very important differences between the different countries which i think sometimes is lost in the discussion that lumped the whole of middle east and north africa together. there are really serious issues

orchestra will have its own distinctive, sonic personality. in the case of tosk nini, who we also point, you have his wonderful symphony in studio 8-h, a very dry acoustic. you recognize that sound and the individuals in the orchestra. you also hear what is a fairly straightforward performance, not a lot of freedom. it's more about the structure of the work. then stay you come to carrion, who we've talked about. his orchestra, berlin philharmonic, is a much lusher sound, deeper and darker. so his tempos tend to be a little bit slower to emphasize the sonic characteristic, and anybody can hear that. thenay you have david zinnman who has done an incredible set of beethoven symphony with his orchestra in zurich but he applied principals discovered the last 20-25 years regarding how fast and sloark the kind of sound they made, and he applied it a contemporary orchestra and you hear that difference. you take, i don't know, harmencorps, with instruments from beethoven's time. automatically the sound changes. they're playing with wooden scks ste of felt. the strings are playing on gut strings-- cat gut-- not steel like we play today. that changes thin
