		Levine is currently Music Director Designate of the orchestra; he will become Music Director in 2004-05 for an initial five-year commitment, leading the BSO in approximately twelve weeks of its twenty-three-week subscription season as well as three weeks or more at Tanglewood.

		Levine's activities are characterized by his intensive and enduring relationships with Europe's most distinguished musical organizations, especially the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the summer festivals in Salzburg (1975-1993) and Bayreuth (1982-1998).

	James Levine
		When James Levine stepped onto the podium at the Metropolitan Opera House on Saturday, April 10, 1993, I felt like I was seeing my best friend for the first time.
		This rapture with Levine’s conducting is from the perspective of a music-lover who does not know most of the jargon that musicians use, nor the notes.
		Levine took that climax as far as I thought it could go, filling the auditorium with orchestral splendor, and then took it further.

	Greg Sandow -- James Levine Goes to the Boston Symphony
		I've heard nothing but acclaim for James Levine's appointment as music director of the Boston Symphony and was thrilled to hear the news myself.
		Levine can build an orchestra, because we've heard him do it at the Metropolitan Opera, where he's been in charge since 1973, first as principal conductor, then with titles escalating all the way to his present post, artistic director.
		Levine, it's been reported, wouldn't take the Boston job unless he was allowed to rearrange rehearsal time, so he'd get more of it in weeks when he conducts difficult scores.

	classical music - andante - evgeny kissin and james levine do music lovers a great service
		The names Kissin and Levine assured a sold-out hall for three works which were probably new to most of the audience, but which figure among the greatest music ever written for the keyboard.
		His tempo was fearlessly slow, even dangerously so — but Levine, with unshakably steady octaves in the bass, maintained the regularity of the pulse and thus preserved the music's processional character.
		In the unfolding of the haunting second theme, the delicacy of Levine's figurations high in the treble and Kissin's incisiveness in the middle register and low octaves captured the diaphanous textures perfectly.

	James Levine - Documents Of The Munich Years Vol 7 - Gershwin, Harbison, Ives \| ArkivMusic
		This is the second disc devoted to American music in “Documents of the Munich Years,” live-performance recordings chosen by Maestro Levine from his 1999—2004 tenure as chief conductor of the Munich Philharmonic (12 CDs in eight volumes).
		Levine, at close to Bernstein’s tempos, is worthy of comparison; the Munich strings are more elegant, but the New York woodwinds are more incisive and colorful.
		This 2002 live recording does allow us to hear more of the score, but Columbia’s early stereo recording was made in the grand ballroom of the St. George Hotel in Brooklyn, which had glorious acoustics, and it sounds fine almost a half century later.

	Conductor James Levine Spurns Opera Gossips -- New York Magazine
		But during Levine’s 35 years with the company, the Met orchestra has become one of the world’s best, its expertise extended beyond Puccini and Verdi standards into the more provocative terrain of Berg, Schoenberg, and Weill.
		For one, there is the matter of Levine’s health, first raised publicly a year and a half ago in another Times story, scattered with anonymous comments from orchestra members concerned by tremors on Levine’s left side.
		And then there is the fear that Levine’s commitments in Boston may distract him from his work here, even lure him away—to which Levine responds with a mild exasperation that seems to sum up his feelings on all these topics, “I haven’t the faintest idea what they’re talking about.”

	Sieglinde's Diaries: James Levine
		All night he sits in what appears to be a velvet-cushioned chair especially designed for him, his field of motion these days confined to within about a foot and a half from his still trunk, filled in by half-folded arms, three or four small gestures (including one for turning the score), and one thin baton.
		Sieglinde is always allowed a little over-the-top BS, but listen to me: this Così has become ether, and James Levine, in love, within his constrained physics organizes a swirl of sound with just enough quiet convection to keep the feather afloat.
		Levine is 420, yellowtail sashimi from Tomoe, McDonalds french fries (kissed with lotsa McD salt) with diet Coke.
