Christian Thielemann attacks ‘malice’ against Gergiev
NewsThe German conductor has taken, as he so often does, a contrarian view on current affairs.
‘Mir ist bei dieser Diskussion ein bisschen zu viel Häme oft im Spiel,’ he said yesterday in Dresden, meaning: ‘I often feel a bit too much malice in this discussion.’
Thielemann went on to say that Gergiev is a great conductor and a friend with whom he likes to go to concerts. ‘I also know him personally quite well. We have never discussed politics. But I have to say I admire him a lot.’
With regard to Anna Netrebko he said: ‘ “I miss the human aspect a bit in this discussion.’
