Rattling around in an empty can
I am surprised rattle left the great Berlin philharmonic for the LSO.
Also he is still living in Berlin. I am certain the London orchestra do not pay him
More money
I would presume that he continues to make his home in Berlin because he still has school-age children and wants to let them finish their schooling there.
This must be an old photo. They both look young.
