Maestro move: A German takes Prague
mainCzech Radio has announced a new Chief Conductor and Artistic Director to succeed the veteran Ondrej Lenard.
It’s Alexander Liebreich, head of the Richard Strauss Festival at Garmisch. He starts in September 2018.
A youngish Czech, Marek Sedivy, 30, was named Principal Guest Conductor.
How old is Ondrej Lenard? Is he really a veteran? I wish we heard him more in the UK!
75. Wish he recorded more. The Brian 1st symphony was a revelation.
Ondrej Lenárd is 75 years old. So he is a veteran, I suppose.
