     First: the big decision in Berlin will not be made by “zeitungen” but, fortunately for music, by the Philharmonikers themselves. Second: our days in this life are numbered too. As for Gustavo’s with the LA Phil, a simple calculation shows that there are at the very least about 2670 of them still left on his current contract.
