Young conductor jumps in for Barenboim
NewsDaniel Barenboim’s withdrawal from concert life for several months is going to cause much rescheduling.
His first concerts, with the Staatskapelle Berlin, are on October 23 and 24.
The Statsoper has rustled up Lorenzo Viotti, chief of Dutch National Opera, to take over.
Viotti wears a Bulgari watch (see promo pic) and he’s only 32.
He conducted a great Mahler 3 with the Berliner Philharmoniker as a stand in. He doesn’t need to do the half naked poses on Instagram. Maybe he should wear his sponsors logo when he conducts.
His Mahler 3 with the Berlin Philharmoniker was indeed fantastic. The audience were reluctant to let him leave at the end,
Hmmm…could this be jealousy?
Probably inherited the watch from his Dad, Marcello Viotti
Quite the heartthrob, if he does say so himself (see his Instagram).
Only a golden Rolex makes you a real conductor.
Is there any reason why 32-year old shouldn’t wear a Bulgari watch?
Envy?
Wearing a Bulgari watch is no guarantee of a musicians time keeping – otherwise we could all sit on the top of Big Ben and conduct the world!
To the ‘thumbs down’, I’m just playing with words…have a sense of humour – you’d need it in the music business !!
What has Rolex or Bulgari to do with conducting? Actually I don’t like Rolex watches and definitely not interested in Bulgari… This is not about design or how well he knows his time is it? Let’s hear some good music.
I heard Bulgari is a good brand for creating young Instagram followers in Russia. So young Viotti is doing everything right of what matters these days.
Can’t wait for his Instagram posts of that other guy who’s arrogance and vanity is even bigger than his considerable talent, that clarinet guy… forgot his name.
For sure you mean Andreas Ottensammer. A respectable clarinetist, but a total air pump as a so-called conductor. It is generally the problem with all these super soloists who let their instrument slide and take the baton in hand to satisfy their lust for power and importance. Nobody needs all these Tjeknavorjans, Rachlins, Braunsteins and Kavakoses. They only produce garbage in the profession of orchestra conducting.
Haha:))
