From the article it appears that it was not Janowski, but Fruebeck de Burgos who in 1999 laid-down his baton due to budget cuts and dumbing-down pressures. Janowski has helped saving the orchestra from such pressures and now it is one of the German top orchestras. Its position seems established nowadays.
Correct about Fruehbeck. But the pressures are rising again.
