The St Petersburg Philharmonic music director was named today honorary conductor of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. The only other maestro ever to hold that title was Leonard Bernstein.

    I’m really happy for the Maestro Temirkanov.
    Great musician, great conductor and brave person.
    Still remember his production of the Tchaikovsky The Queen of Spades 1984.
    It was incredible to work under his baton.
