Really inspiring concert tonight: crisply, sensitively played, and well-paced. One of the best 'New World' perfs heard in a long time.
Do hope Mr Ticciati comes back now and again to conduct them.

Sad he’s going. He’s done a lot for the SCO.

Possibly, but he did drag the centre of gravity of their programming (I assume that he was responsible for the programming) well into the 19th century - I look forward to it slipping back 50 - 100 years now he's gone :-)

Does the smiley indicate a tongue in the cheek hope that there’ll be more performances of works by the likes of Bartok, Hindemith, Britten, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Tippett, Shostakovich or do you really want to go back to 18th Century music?

Isn’t there room for 20th and even 21st Century music, as well as music from the 17th through to the 19th?

Not tongue in cheek, no, just an attempt to show that I wasn't being aggressive.

And yes, I do want to go back to the 18th century, at least its music, played by small a orchestra in at least a HIP-informed manner. We have two symphony orchestras in Glasgow, so the 19th & 20th centuries are well catered for. Apart from rare performances by the Dunedins (& even that was under threat when their funding was cut, & then thankfully re-instated after complaints, by Creative Scotland) the 17th, 18th centuries aren't. (Why do you ask if I really want to go back to the 18th century as if it was something strange and deviant? I thought 18th century music had become fairly mainstream now.)

His recently released Eroica with the Nizhny Novgorod Soloists is stunning (Apartemusic 24/96, on Qobuz...)... showing that any SCO Beethoven won't be a Mackerras rerun (or at least not at first...)...
His work with Il Pomo d'Oro suggests that you may perhaps get your 18thC wish...

I think his record company may be styling him as a Currentzis-rival, but I wouldn't want to worry anyone, of course...
