Even though the daytoday experience of raising kids can be soulcrushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.” The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonnaandchild image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single – mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom tobe, smiling on the newsstands. In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kittenkilling ? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to pare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn’t ha ve had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping babysize holes in their lives.

The widesp read availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert. One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert’s o wn interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classicalmusic critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant anization.” But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America’s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract. 21.
