Why? Have orchestras stopped giving reasons or is SD just not reporting them?
This afternoon, less than twenty-four hours after announcing that Baráti would step in, the Orchestra scrubbed his name from its website and announced that Clara-Jumi Kang would replace Batiashvili, acting as if the earlier change had never happened. I wonder why Baráti came and went so quickly ; did he also get sick, or was there some other reason that they decided the collaboration would not work and decided to call upon Kang instead ?
I hope she is OK she seemed fine last Friday with the Concertgebouw at Carnegie Hall.
She is still on the schedule to play Prokofiev #2 with Santa Cecilia/Harding at Wiener Konzerthaus on 06 December.
