Pronunciation-itis--Wanting to get it right

       
       When outstanding LA Times classical music critic Mark Swed goes kind of crazy for a new performer, it's time to sit up and take notice.  Yesterday's Headline and sub-headline respectively?  "Get ready for Mirga mania," "Conductor Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla wows in fiery L.A. Phil concert at Disney."

        By my count, the surname of the new female assistant conductor of the Phil appeared in the article 16 times.  My inner ear was going daft by about the 5th until I hypothesized a pronunciation something like GRAH-zin-ite TIE-la.

        The review didn't give the apparently correct pronunciation of this name we're all going to be contending with until its 16th and last printed appearance:  GRA-chin-tee-eh TEE-la.  The sound you hear is the tinkle of my imagined pronunciation shattering into pieces.
