The International Bachakademie of Stuttgart has announced the Dresden conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann (r) as successor to Helmut Rilling.

We know that because it was announced today at a press conference. But what does Herr Rilling make of it? He’s been threatening alternately to resign immediately or cling on forever if he doesn’t get the successor he wants, whoever that may be. Not Herr Rademann, by recent accounts.

It was all quiet on the Rilling front today. Perhaps not for long.
