Valery Gergiev, goodbye Rotterdam

[sjoes]

Wat een man, wat een dirigent. Ik was bij dit 'laatste' concert en ik ben gelukkig ook elk jaar weer van de partij op het Gergievfestival. De regering begaat een heel grote fout door echte kunst alleen beschikbaar te maken voor de happy few. Gergievs werk voor Mariinsky laat zien hoe het hoort.

what are they saying?

[mistatomsom]

well he left in the nick of time, since the new government will destroy all the radio ensembles like radio phil, radio chamber phil, radio choir and so on as well as also R'dam phil and Residentie Orchestra.

@coporofrito

Yannick Nézet Seguin is a very good conductor. I've already heard many very good concerts with him and this orchestra in Rotterdam. In september (Gergievfestival Rotterdam) he will do Mahler 2 and in october Mahler 3. And I will go to the Berliner Philharmoniker in Berlin on oktober 22th. He conducts the orchestra there in Messiaen, Prokofiev (2nd pianoconcert with Bronfman and Berlioz. Next year he becomes also chief conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. Bad? hahaha.
