Contrary to advance publicity, it was Rainer Honeck who stepped up to lead the Vienna Philharmonic this morning.

The intended concertmaster was Albena Danailova, the first woman to preside on New Year’s Day.

What happened? A failure of collective will?

Or maybe they were just testing to see if we were watching.
