Simon Rattle gets stuck in to Munich hall row
NewsMarkus Söder, Minister-President of Bavaria, this weekend cast doubt on the viability of a new concert hall for Munich, saying it would cost a billion Euros and was inappropriate in present circumstances.
His intervention has drawn a guarded response from Sir Simon Rattle, incoming music director at Bavarian Radio.
In a press release just issued by BR, Rattle says he does not want to comment on Söder’s thoughts from afar, but he reminds the politician that they discussed plans for the hall before he accepted the Munich job and he very much hopes the investment will go ahead.
To London ears, this sounds horribly familiar.
