    Interaction close to zero. As laughable as Alondra de la Parra.

      Indeed, DG has come a long way since Karajan (not). Shame on them.

      The fact that you compared her to another woman, when you had so many other comparison points, is purely coincidental. You are not an old rancorous misogynist and angry patriarch. Oh no … Those don’t exist anymore, their phallic times are over.

    Mirga, come to save us and rid has of this old lascivious satyr. East of the Mississippi, north of the 38th parallel, west of the Appalachians.

    Enjoyed this. She seemed to have a good rapport with some of the musicians here. Too bad their US tour was called off last October.

        Certainly not. That’s why she’s a respected colleague and professional. Everyone is working towards a common goal of music-making. The era of conductors as dictators ended a half-century ago.

          Great comment, but unfortunately way too optimistic. Look no further than Chicago to find a man who is the poster child (literally) for conductors as dictators.

    Another Simon Rattle. Vanilla flavoured and insipid.

    This woman is such an obvious marketing creation it’s amazing more people can’t see it.

      Excessive marketing can eventually backfire. This seems to be the case with Mirga within the SD bubble.

    Broke the cardinal rule. Speaks far too much. Forgets that many of the musicians (especially the older ones!) will have played this dozens of times, with much better conductors. Grandmother and sucking eggs springs to mind, but younger conductors never understand this. No respect, nor trust.

    Thank you! I did indeed miss this last year.
    It’s a pleasure, also, to see the landscapes.

    One of the most overrated classical music person of today, along with Dudamel, Yusif Eyvazov and Lang Lang.

      How overrated is Mirga in the real world?

      She is 34, rising, getting plenty of hype (especially here), but her career is nothing like Dudamel’s in the last 10-15 years. Dudamel, who is only 5 years older, conducted both the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic before turning 30. If Mirga had any confirmed high profile guest engagement, it would have dominated SlippedDisc headlines.

      I am only discussing careers, not talent. If someone is overrated, it is reflected in their career.
