He has scrapped? Dortmund cancelled it last week.
Nothing is scrapped. The program has been changed. No more and no less. What some paranoid, so-called journalists spin out of it does not correspond to reality.
What you are doing here and in previous comments on the Currentzis subject, Mr Lebrecht, is not sincere journalism, but yellow journalism and fake news (for what reasons ever). I recommend a close look at the latest issue of the VAN magazine, to learn what proper research and journalistic work look like.
This article, https://van-magazine.com/mag/teodor-currentzis-russia-ukraine/, does indeed give a careful, balanced, and as far as I can judge accurate account of the situation regarding Currentzis and his orchestras. It is journalism, not social-media-style propaganda. Thank you for the recommendation.
The reasons are clear. Earn money and show a moral stance seemingly and effectively in the media, regardless of any facts. Same goes for his colleague Axel Bruggemann.
What is “fake news” about this?
der Lack ist ab.
The Gazprom conductor.
This blog is worse than the Sun at this stage.
Be grateful you live in a country where your public statements don’t end in persecution, or worse.
If the author of this so called “journalismus” had any ethics or only a fraction of the quality he demands of all others, he would retract his blatant lies. Dortmund did not cancel anything. This is fake news. Dortmund changed the program. Currentzis is still conducting.
Why the destructiveness? If you don’t care for an artist, why must you destroy him? Unless of course he is a threat to your own sense of self worth. Anyone reading this blog can see that the author makes himself very petty and small and puts himself in the cliche of the envious pithy nerd who cannot himself be creative, much less be a part of the world of the sublime and beautiful. One should pity this author. He must be very unhappy.
Why not try partial mobilization?
Norman, the postings on your blog seem to flip between i) worthwhile musical discussions, ii) selected wokism, iii) selected anti-wokism, iv) personal attacks, and v) salacious gossip.
If only you could stick the i) and cut the rest, it would so much improved.
When you want to be, you are a thought provoking writer. But you often let other side take over.
Completely agree,vive la musique!
Pfffffft. The sound of the air seeping out of the Gas(z)prom orchestra. Eto horoscho!
