    Since when have musician ever wanted to follow a conductor anyway? 😉

      A decent orchestra will ignore the conductor as a matter of honour, if nothing else. Look at recent experience of John Eliot Gardiner with the Leipzig Gewandhaus…. at least according to the account in Private Eye…

    All they need now is to bring Joe Robinson and Blair Tindall back for cameo appearances.

    The inside cover two-page spread is even more fanciful, ostensibly part of a marketing strategy. The musicians are actual Phil members.
