Christoph Eschenbach has cancelled his second week in Israel after falling unaccountably unwell.

The Philharmonic are using his withdrawal to make a huge fuss of a young Israeli substitute.

Rotem Nir, 26, is head of music at the Israeli Opera and assistant conductor at a couple of orchestras.

Next week he gets a crack at Beethoven’s fifth as his Philharmonic debut.

Lahav Shani thinks highly of him.
