The chorus of Bavarian Radio has asked Peter Dijkstra to return as its next artistic director.

  • La plus belle voix says:

    A decidedly odd move. The scent of a certain rodent in the air suspended, Marks the place where the story . . . (apologies to T.S. Eliot). It’s likely just an interim position, the candidate whom the chorus management (ostensibly Susanne Vongries, who she?) really desires not being available for a couple of seasons or so.

  • Peter says:

    Watch this space. Simon Halsey big friend of Rattle.

  • Ira says:

    Fine choice, Peter is quite talented.
