Currentzis is an outstanding talent. The anti-Russian bias on this website is shameful and disgusting
They’ve done so much to deserve the hate, both throughout their barbaric history as well as now.
I think that you are confusing them with the British.
If you want to go around invading your neighbours and throw 10s of 1000s of lives away and bomb theatres you get what’s coming to you.
And a look at his website would suggest that the last line of the article is pure nonsense. Several countries welcoming him over the next few months.
By the way I still don’t understand Norman’s logic concerning how a certain wealthy man tied to shady dealings coming to Currentzis’ concert means the latter is a villain who is pro-war and pro-Putin and the devil incarnate. It’s like saying Hitler coming to Fürtwangler’s concerts means the latter is the evilest man ever. Of course I exaggerate a little, but one can’t control who comes to one’s concerts!
He’s conducting the SWR SO in Baden-Baden and Lucerne this month.
This is scandalous: A woman should have been appointed.
All teaching positions in the classical music world should now be offered solely to females, with a token assortment of minorities of course, to balance things out.
What can be done to correct this outrage?
As long as the conductor paints his nails, he satisfies the quota requirement.
TruthHurts your sarcasm is noted. By the way, how many potentially great composers and conductors did we miss out on hearing because they were women?
Um … zero.
What you are suggesting is a construct. Many great artists, male and female, have been neglected by history, however that was not a fault of their gender, rather of their personal misfortunes. Some of them get discovered by a later generation, often because today we have an obsession with “victims,” but in so many cases does their re-discovery simple highlight why those artists were neglected in the first place.
