- <p> Au revoir Bastille, allo Toddlin' Town. That is the fate of
- French conductor Daniel Barenboin, 46, whose appointment to be
- musical director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was announced
- last week. He will replace Georg Solti, 76, who officially
- retires in 1991. Meanwhile, Barenboim will conduct part time.
- He may need the work. The French government last month removed
- him as head of the Opera de la Bastille, partly because of his
- $1.1 million salary and highbrow tastes. His Windy City plans
- include joint ventures with museums and schools. Says he: "I
- hope the cultural life of Chicago might be more than the sum of
- its parts."
