    I was also expecting a special appearance by John Borstlap in the Boulez Memoriale!

  • Hagrid Johnson says:

    Rather inappropriate for highly-paid maestros to mix with impoverished freelancers, flouting their wealth in a show of total unabashed arrogance. Shame.

  • Helke says:

    …and they both are very bad conductors !

  • Mustard says:

    Shani is a bass player? Mehta was. What are the odds there!

    • Mock Mahler says:

      The most illustrious conductor-bass player was Serge Koussevitzky, who had been principal of the Bolshoi and who wrote a concerto for bass that was recorded by Gary Karr.

    Schönberg: Kammersinfonie Nr. 1 or 2….?

      No. 1. The same that was played at the Proms in 2015, before the Beethoven Triple Concerto. And the Boulez Memoriale was played at the Proms as well, in 2012, when Barenboim tried to pair the Beethoven symphonies with Boulez pieces.
