The Dutch have replaced Sir John Eliot Gardiner in Brahms’ German Requiem next March with Dinis Sousa, the young conductor who stepped in after JEG’s spot of bother in August.

Gardiner, the press release says, has withdrawn from the Dutch performances ‘for personal reasons’.

Our sources expect him to return in late spring 2024.

Meanwhile, his young Portuguese stand-in is making one debut after the next.
