So are they going to up the prize money ante to $200000 so that they can put one over China? May the best horse win.
rlpo to continue as orchestra, no halle has done last few.
It was indeed the Halle since I went in 2012 with Mark Elder.
It’s a great shame (some would say an injustice) that the Orchestra of Opera North isn’t contracted to provide the backing for the soloists – after all, their main raison d’etre is accompanying other top-class musicians. (And they are local players!!)
Completely agree! A superb orchestra with an enormous experience in the art of accompanying!!!
Over 40 years and counting……
It’s a shame, but not a surprise. There’s always a certain amount of snobbery about a provincial opera orchestra and they are also currently without a chief conductor. Even when they had the wonderful Richard Farnes, he still didn’t bring the same clout as Elder or Petrenko. It’s pity they can’t share the load though, like BBCNOW and WNO seem to do for Cardiff Singer of the World.
Very average pianist.
As good (or not as good) as you?
