Sicklist: Mariss Jansons is replaced by Romanian
mainThe Bavarian Radio music director has announced he has a cold this week.
His eleventh-hour sub is Cristian Macelaru, who made his debut with the orchestra just last month.
Macelaru, 37, is the newly named music director of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music.
He’s very much a rising star from Romania, and a keen advocate of Enescu’s music as well. Good for him!
He is born in Romania, but he is rising in the world, and he is educated and based in the US.
Retarded nationalism. So 19th century.
I got to know Cristi from his time in Philadelphia – an incredible musician and phenomenal human being. He’ll do very well in Munich!
