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.

“never formally headed a symphony orchestra before”, and how about conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2009?: https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/interview/14-3.
This was one of the links provided in the guardian article you referred to. Also this link list a larger number of collaborations than you are suggesting: https://www.staatsoper.de/en/staatsorchester/kirill-petrenko.html

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.
