Death of Abbado’s right-hand aide, 72
mainWhen Sony Classical was trying to poach Claudio Abbado from DG, its strategy rested on hiring Olympia Gineri of the Vienna State Opera as its vice-president in Hamburg.
It worked for a while, with Sony picking up some projects that DG had already turned down.
Dr Gineri died this week in Vienna at the age of 72.
