Winners

1 Andris Nelsons – he’s done it, doesn’t have to do it again

2 Every other conductor who thinks s/he can do it better

3 Muti, obvs

4 The Vienna Phil – probably its biggest payday

5 The Green Party – they’re in government now. Next year, the concert will be done in candleight.

 

Losers

1 Sony – they’ll never get their money back

2 The Vienna Phil – it’s looking rather jaded

3 Austria – is this the best it can do?
