They’re not “getting younger all the time”… plenty of the great players who are now nearing retirement-age began their careers at Mr. Kinmoth’s age, at a time before multiple post-graduate degrees were expected as a prerequisite for being taken seriously as a musician.
That said, a very impressive achievement on his part. Best of luck to him.
Hearing today’s Juilliard Orchestra (and Curtis, too) as I do, I’m not surprised when a young musician gets a principal job in a major orchestra.
