American replaces Daniel Harding at LSO
mainA last-minute LSO search for a Mahler 3 conductor on June 25 to replace Harding, who has hurt his wrist, has yielded Robert Trevino, 33, an American who is music director with the Basque Symphony Orchestra.
Couldn’t do better – good for the LSO in taking a rising star! Heard his Mahler in Milan; a real maestro in the making.
He was fired from Cav/Pag in Oslo after multiple disastrous rehearsals.
If that’s the Opera rather than the Philharmonic then an hilarious claim for a house that’s perpetually imploding, rife with political intrigue, and can’t hold on to staff including their much-lauded MD and GM for more than ten minutes. God knows what Trevino was doing there in first place.
Looking forward to hearing this performance in London next week. His concert with CBSO and Stephen Hough last March was phenomenal.
