Writing About and Reviewing Classical Music and Jazz
I’ve previously mentioned the search of a successor for Simon Rattle in Berlin.
Now we have the answer: Kirill Petrenko.
I assume I’m not the only one barely familiar with this young conductor. He has recorded only a small handful albums and has never formally headed a symphony orchestra before (only opera, at the Berlin Komische Oper, in Munich and also Bayreuth).
At least this article from the Guardian sounds reassuring.
Interesting times ahead as of 2018.

Oh, I understand now, you meant never been artistic director of a symphony orchestra…sorry, I was confused.

Yes, that’s what I meant. I know he’s had some experience with conducting symphony orchestra, but he never had “his own” yet, and now he gets one of the leading ones of the world.
