Annals of Music Journalism

The NY Times, caught flat-footed without a pre-written obituary and somehow omitting Parkinson's disease, from which Levine suffered:



Here's the Washington Post, with an obit on file, publishing just a little too hastily:


DATETK = DATE TO COME
PLACETK = PLACE TO COME
XXX = person who made public the death

A friend points out privately that there are discrepancies between these two obits as to various date-related factors, including his age at his Met debut. Presumably these will be corrected at some point.
