    Great artist. I remember he directed Sibelius’s “Valse triste” few days after the death of Mariss Janson with the RCO. Before I think he was at the Paris conservatoire.

    What happened to Otto Tausk, appointed the same position just a few years ago?

  • Tim Swensen says:

    A fabulous oboist and artist. I hope he does not need to leave the Concertgebouworkest.
