There is no Swedish idyll anymore. Mr Gustafsson is probably trying to avoid all the shootings and explosions and other aspects of gang war etc. I hope he will finds a safe home in Bogota.
Well deserved. He is really good. Positive, constructive. Somebody who really knows how to bring the best out of an orchestra. He was an excellent concertmaster at the Gothenburg Opera, very talented violinist. What else do you want?
