Well a year rather short on star soloists.
Outside the international orchestras not a thrilling year at first glance , some extraordinarily short programmes and a deeply uninspiring First and Last Night. The latter also treats us no doubt again to one of the egregiously bumptious speeches of Sir Andrew Davis- bring back Marin Alsop I say !
No Haitink and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe either despite their Lucerne dates.
September 2 looks quite good though.
