So who will be the Berlin Phil.'s music director once Sir Simon leaves?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

It's definitely worked.

A considerable number of ideas on these pre-existing recent threads....

We now appear to have four on this subject and I note kernelbogey has kindly volunteered to merge them...

Yes, but surely they're all on this thread now. etc.

Its fab Caliban. making the perfect Horlicks requires the help of a quality device though, IMHO.

Are Alison's odds her own or from a reputable bookie? "Oddschecker" didn't help last night !

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes, but surely they're all on this thread now. etc.

But the links all lead here... Shall I delete my message if it's less confusing, as it's now otiose (save to explain message #72...)?

Merging is straightforward, but for deciding which you want to be the 'main' one, retaining the title. If you start off, the little drop down menus indicate 1) The proposed title and 2) the board you want it to be one (sometimes the threads are on different boards, so you need to decide which one it should end up on).

Difficult to explain without actually going through the motions, but I gather all has been taken care of now?

I think so - I opted to retain the title and location suggested by kernelbogey

Fine merging work, Caliban - merging like that I haven't seen since the days of 'Tiny' Rowland

You mustn't tease Ammy - The Boy Done Good - the first merger of many and all safely gathered in to one place! Bless Him, it must feel like his first day as a Prefect.

yes, a right result. A techno whizz and no mistake. However, the fact that he seems to have been a prefect is cat out of the bag ........

Even managed to get hold of a First Edition of frenchie's memoirs, to learn a lesson or two...





I'll catch it now...

And we shall gloss over the Head Boy episode ......
To return ontopic, as we are talking 5 years hence, it needs a young guy, so how about Gustavo Dudamel?

I just hope Cali isn't too keen on his new "toy" - what other mergers might we get?

The Evolution of Wobble.
Ten Myths of Sibelius' Second Symphony in D.
Guardian to Stream behind the scenes of Melvyn Bragg.
Why do so few composers begin with Christian Thielemann's metronome?
Keith Jarrett: Words/Phrases to set your teeth on edge.
So who will be in the running to take over the Music of John Dowland?

Such power!

Made me chortle

(Just thought of a couple of obscene ones but I mustn't end up modding meself on me first day... )

Ahem...

Come along now, ferney - back on topic please.



A propos: can anyone remember what the reaction was to Sir Simon R being appointed to the BPO?

Was it a surprise? Had anyone predicted it?

[Anna]

Ahem, levity suspended!
It is said the orchestra favoured Barenboim, but Rattle won them over promises of pay rises. And why not? If you are scraping away on a fiddle you may as well get the max wage for it.
