The day the symphony died
From my monthly essay in the new issue…
Leipzig. Do you guys need an editor?
Miriam Pastor, currently English horn of the Concertgebouw as well as the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, recently won the audition for principal oboe at the Orchestre de Paris.
Yep! That’s a schok news! And speaking English horn.. there is now something going in world of English horn: Bayerischen Rundfunk is still looking new EH player (vacant since 2016) and Gewandhaus might soon need also new EH because Simon Sommerhalder recently won principal post in Orchestra Suisse Romande
Yes, so it is. And what a lucky day for the Orchestra it is, that Frau Taurina today has win the audition for Solo-Englischhorn! Gratulations for her and the Gewandhausorchester from all of Leipzig!
Huge congrats to her! Wonderful news!
Would you be so kind as to correct “Leipig” to “Leipzig”? I know, I know, semantics, who needs them….
[I know, I know, semantics, who needs them….]
They aren’t needed for this, anyway.
And the right size of n-comma would be less distracting, thus: Tauriņa—there, I found one in the Wikipedia article on Latvian.
she reminds me of the raunchy oboe player in the tv show “Mozart in the Jungle”.
