Who might be next then?
Who might be next then?
That didn’t last! He was a surprising appointment I thought. Salonen would be a marriage made in heaven, failing him, Petrenko. On the British side, I wonder if Harding and Gardner would go for it?
Ha! I was going to wind you up by suggesting Gergiev but I imagine his job as Vladimirs bag man is probably too lucrative. K Petrenko is a mystery to me- not heard him yet. I was thinking Vasily- he’s probably got another 40 years in him. I thought Harding would have got it last time round but his trajectory seems to have faltered. He delivered a great Mahler 8 with the Swedish RSO on Sunday, though I felt slightly sorry for them having the Edinburgh Festival Chorus who sounded behind the beat once or twice. The Swedish Radio Choir is world class.Harding has been doing a fair bit with them in last 10 years or so, so maybe he's in the frame. Which Petrenko? - did you see Kyrill at the proms and was he any good?! Personally I think they need someone who will be around for a long tenure.
Other contenders might be <eek> Gergiev or Ivan Fischer.
