\n“There’s a crazy guy on the line who wants to joke around,” I said to Cristina.
\nThe voice asked: “Have you ever conducted Cos\u00ec fan tutte<\/em>?”
\nI began to think it actually could be Karajan, and decided to humor him:
\n“No, maestro. But right now Karl B\u00f6hm is doing it in Salzburg, with great success. I wouldn’t want to die by my own baton. Can I think it over?”
\n“I don’t have time for that: it’s yes or no.”
\n“If it’s really you asking, I accept.”<\/p>\n
