    Boring signing

  • NYMike says:

    Very good performance @ Juilliard Orchestra a couple of years ago.

  • Ursula says:

    150cm of mediocrity

  • Katherine says:

    Do Askonas Holt ever take on young conductors with whom they can develop? All they seem to do is take mid-level/established conductors from other agencies.

    • Petros Linardos says:

      Daniel Harding for more than two decades. And I just spotted Karina Canellakis in their website.

  • ben LEGEBEKE says:

    Not a maestro at all. Just again someone who got a lot of chances ,what already 25 years was unthinkable that all this “youngsters” were conducting in no time the Concertgebouw or the Berlin Phil! Just an average conductor….
