A Romanian rescues Leipzig
mainFranz Welser-Möst has dropped out of this week’s concerts with the Gewandhaus.
No problem usually finding a replacement conductor in Germany, but the soloist in this case is the rarely-spotted Radu Lupu and the orchestra had to be confident he would approve a replacement maestro.
The fly-in is his fellow-Romanian, Cristian Măcelaru.
Christian is the best!
Radu Lupu has cancelled as well.
