Franz Welser-Möst is ordered to rest
OrchestrasThe conductor will miss the first three weeks of the Cleveland Orchestra season, having returned unwell from its European tour.
His replacements will be Osmo Vänskä, Elim Chan and associate conductor Daniel Reith.
The deceptively youthful Franz Welser-Möst, 64, underwent treatment for a cancerous tumour a year ago. He will step down as Cleveland music director in 2027 after a record 25 years in charge.
These turbo cancers. I wonder what could have caused them? Hmmmmmmmm……….
They are caused by ignorance and false information.
The orange clown.
As opposed to a giggling hyena. Heavens, what’s in the US drinking water!! Credibility next to zero.
Last time that I saw him, after the Vienna Philharmonic Carnegie Hall concerts at the beginning of March, he did not look so youthful.
I don’t say that to denigrate. Alas, age and such a horrible disease as cancer take a toll on all of us.
Let’s wish him a good recovery and many more years of making music.
This isn’t good!! I hope the maestro remains fit and well.
Or one could just say “the deceptive Franz Leopold Maria Möst.”
