Shunned Currentzis starts own label
NewsThe Russian-based Greek conductor has been fading from sight since Putin invaded Ukraine. Although Salzburg and Baden-Baden maintain his residencies despite his dependence on Russian funds, Currentzis, 52, has struggled to maintain profile and his recording work on Sony seems to have run dry.
So he has done a deal with the Belgian conglomerate Outhere to start his own label next year. It will be called Theta, after the Greek letter that resembles an egg with a black spot in the middle. So apt.
Beh, non mi pare che sia scomparso, forse quello che vediamo in giro è un suo sosia oppure il suo fantasma.
Well, it will ensure that he can continue to write his own liner notes, which, based on the ones I’ve seen make Celibidache’s nonsensical philosophical pronouncements seem clear and concise………..
Own orchestra, own label. . . next thing he will be starting his own war.
I giornalisti tedeschi, descrivono un direttore usato da Putin,io credo sia una persona che sa come muoversi.Ricordiamoci che nel 2019 voleva venire in Europa occidentale, anche in Italia,ma non ha ricevuto risposta
Lui veramente ha due orchestre: Utopia e MusicAeterna.Chissa’se possono registrare entrambi
– The Greek letter theta has a dash in the middle. As in Θ.
– Theta happens to be the first letter of Currentzis’ given namem Theodoros (Θεόδωρος).
Or a blob, when used as a capital letter
The blob is a stylization in some typefonts.
thanks!
This theta blob will be stylized like a “9”:

That is a calligraphic lowercase theta.
And he’s a calligraphic lowercase kinda guy.
Germany remains dependent on Russian gas, so that makes sense. The cancellers are vacuous virtue signallers.
Who asked for this?
Poutine
Will he able to afford a whole shirt now?
Penso che possa comprare anche un maglione
Won’t this just be a sub-label of Outhere Music, like Alpha Classics and Phi?

Θ – also a symbol of divine will
