Hope the surgery goes well and he's back working soon.

Best wishes to him. And thank you for the information.

Hopefully, doctors will be able to point directly to the problem this time.

Muti will miss the rest of his winter residency with the orchestra.

The latest on Muti:

Looks like the underlying cause was a heart condition.

Thank you, batterie. Those arhythmias will sneak up and knock down even the strongest individuals. Pacemakers are not what they used to be. The implant is minimally invasive outpatient surgery. The things are so small and slick, Muti's going to be better than ever. Mark my words.
