What Mariss told the ‘secret’ press conference
mainOn Friday, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra launched its new season in front of a tiny gathering of hand-picked hacks. Most local and all international journalists were excluded.
Mariss Jansons made two mild observations at the meeting.
1 Asked if he was in the running for the Berlin Philharmonic conductorship, he said: ‘We have to wait and see what happens on 11 May.’
2 Asked about the decision to deny Munich a new concert hall, he replied: ‘Hopefully, politicians have understood they made a mistake.’
The orchestra announced a new website. It is almost as dull and impenetrable as the press conceference.
