To quote myself - "Nothing about that story seems relevant to Alsop's experience here so I'd be curious as to what was going on with that story that was so pungent as to provoke those remarks."
One of the things I have heard about in the orchestral world, not just from outsiders but from a former neighbor who was a player is that, behind all that elegance and "civilization", is a snake pit full of rivalries and backbiting. Like some other professions where there's no occupational path outside the orchestra that doesn't seem like a step down (how many tubists do YOU know in other lines of work) getting your next step on the ladder depends on knocking someone else OFF the ladder, and, it's a small world, so everybody knows everybody. Opinions are harsh.
That's why I suspect that this movie has a light touch on truth and a heavy dose of fiction.
