    Why is Russia trying to make so many conductors so sick? What is their end game here?

  • Novagerio says:

    Dima is actually a finn born in Russia…

    • Harold Lewis says:

      Slobodeniouk is a Ukrainian surname. Writing in Gramophone in 2013, Guy Rickards described Dima Slobodeniouk as ‘Russian-born, Finnish-resident’. The Opera Musica web site describes him as ‘Moscow-born’.

  • Jill Richards says:

    Evidently conducting has its secret hazards…

  • Dawna Demster says:

    I’m available.
