    I wonder what he has in mind for his next move?
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          He may want to freelance. He's done relatively little of that, having been apponted to the CBSO early in his career.

            Perhaps he's got wind that Vasily will also be moving on...?

              Hmmm bit of a different kettle of fish the RLPO, but then, I think it might be a good move to go baclk to his roots?

                & not exactly a 'resignation', as was just announced by what's-her-name at the beginning of In Tune.

                      Who's opening the book on his successor? 2018's a boringly long way off though.

                      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            The RSNO? Give him a chance to conduct a REALLY great orchestra...

                              So who will in be in the running to take over the Berlin Phil. once Sir Simon leaves?

                              I've heard Thielemann is interested. The players seem to be enthusiastic but possibly because he has a fat DG contract in his back pocket.
