Lucky Malmo.
A great appointment. Pity we couldn’t have looked after Martyn a bit better and not just knock our own all the time, particularly with ACE cuts.
Intelligent choice. Martyn is a superb conductor and human being.
Congratulations. A fine conductor of great integrity, which is rare today (cough, Mäkelä).
Well done Martyn, you’re a STAR!
Bravo Martyn! Well played Malmo!
Congtratulations, Martyn! I took advantage of a work trip from Colombia to London in May to attend the Total Immersion concert conducted by Brabbins, where the BBC SO played Berio’s Sinfonia and other Italian modernistic pieces. By far, it was the best thing I did during my trip, in particular because it was my first live performance of this kind of music, after years of listening to it.
We are the lucky ones in Malmö. Great conductor.
