  • FrauGeigerin says:

    I am glad that my Swiss colleagues are getting someone good. Brönnimann is one of the worst, more arrogant and unpleasant conductors that has ever guest conducted me.

    • Hispa-vox says:

      Brönnimann is not the most affable person in the world. He is good with contemporary music, but in my opinion a nullity when it comes to all other repertoire.

  • Franz1975 says:

    Titus Engel is quite good: professional, creative and polite. A good choice for Basel.
