• Leading candates for MD openings

    From mswdesign@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 8 12:09:40 2023
    Staatskapelle Berlin, NY Phil and the CSO- all are looking for new leaders. Now there is nothing stopping orchestras from bring onboard leaders who are overcommitted (Makela), but there are some names out there who are either underemployed or ripe for a
    major position:

    Dudamel - mentioned in the NY Times as the leading choice for New York, this seems like a great match- a conductor who is big on personality, a "name". He's not a favorite of mine for the central rep.
    Thielemann - where is the best place for Christian's sonic sludge? Berlin, of course.
    Honeck - you'd think he's going somewhere bigger, but he hasn't built a fan following here in Chicago the way Zweden did. The one person I know in the orchestra doesn't care for him.
    Zweden - he still seems underemployed to me, and if he ends up in Chicago that won't surprise me at all. To me he's pretty hit-and-miss, but in pieces where he can be direct and less about phrasing and rubato, the results can be very strong. I wouldn't
    mind him here at all.
    Andreas Orozco-Estrada - he seems underemployed at the momen. I've liked him in nearly everything I've heard him do.
    Vlad Jorowski - not sure if he's a fit for any of these openings, but he seems underutilized at the moment

    Who else deserves consideration?

    Perhaps, as suggested in an earlier thread, these bands should follow the lead of the Vienna Phil and abolish the position of MD entirely? There seem to be so few half-decent conductors around, according to your estimation, that nobody really qualifies
    for the job anyway.

    I listen to the Berlin Phil quite a lot these days, and I don't think they produce sonic sludge anymore. Dudamel reminds me of one of those doowop songs ...

    Tomomi Nishimoto is better than

    I suspect Dan will say Tomomi Nishimoto, and based on what I've heard I wouldn't argue with him. Probably not a big enough 'name' for any of
    those posts, but maybe it's time to dispense with that.

    Although she has considerable experience conducting in Russia and Europe, is she actually actively conducting now?

    I didn't really notice because I don't know any women who would be considered "leading candidates". Perhaps that's not giving Mirga enough credit- she's going to be free, and she's a star of sorts. And Simone Young icould be a decent choice in Berlin. I
    saw her do Wagner bits here with the CSO and the concert was fantastic. Se was supposed to do a Mahler 7 the following season, but it was cancelled due to COVID. I see Susanna Mälkki is also free. That said, I've really not heard a lot of recordings
    from any of them, so they didn't come to mind. But I know I've heard enough of Thielemann and Dudamel that any of them would be preferable. Alsop is in charge at Ravinia yest I still haven't heard her conduct.

    And of course, I got my Berlin orchestras muddled up in a mental sludge of my own. It's been a hot day in Canberra. Meanwhile, JoAnn Falletta and Marin Alsop were recently included in a list of the 30 greatest living conductors. I believe Halle Berry is
    going to Manchester.

    There may be also some leading vocalists and instrumentalists who want to turn to conducting later in life.

    I know one pianist turned conductor who put the change down to fear of forgetting the music onstage later on in life as more memory "incidents" started to accumulate. Fear real or imagined - it's still fear. Musicians can get very anxious about going
    onstage and make career decisions accordingly.

    However, in such a case the musician has to learn an entirely new repertoire when he or she is fifty years old and he (or she) will turn into one of those conductors whose face is buried in the score most of the time.

    Orchestras don't like this. Good conductors don't need the score much during the performance.

    I'm not saying instrumentalists will have their heads buried in the score - much of the fear of memory lapses is imagined. Just having the score there is reassuring. Richter used to take scores onto the platform later in life for just that reason. But
    his reputation was such that he could. To another younger pianist "taking the score onto the platform in front of the Berlin PO would be like dropping your pants in public..." (actual quote).

    TOP conductors can earn more than soloists, but you don't become a top conductor overnight, and most never do.

    If you're in front of an orchestra, if you're only there because you believe wagging a baton gets more money than playing the piano, the orchestra will not invite you back.

    Once again, your hatred of Dan prevents you from understanding simple English. He did not, as you suggest, say that any conductor was "only there" for the money. He said it as a factor not to be overlooked.

    I'm no expert on the history of how musicians become conductors, but clearly some do this quite early in their careers and others much later. There are lots of reasons one can imagine leading a person to conduct: insufficient or declining skill as a
    soloist, wanting to boss people around, making more money, wanting to contribute in a certain way, who knows what else?

    Do people become doctors to make money or to "help people"?" It's stupid question.

    I have a wild wild suggestion, Frank, that apparently never entered your mind: people do this because they want to make music.

    And that's why protested before. This cynical way of suggesting people have bad motives is soo unpleasant.

    People who are in it for the money go in finance rather than classical music.

    I have a wild wild suggestion, Frank, that apparently never entered your mind: people do this because they want to make music.

    And that's why protested before. This cynical way of suggesting people have bad motives is soo unpleasant.

    Didn't you just recently suggest that Dan was trying to manipulate people, because he didn't name the musicians in his uploads? A whole lot of a projection going on here ;)

    You really are one fucked up guy - just as Todd btw ;D

    Bad argument. There are lots of ways to make music without conducting.


    And that's why protested before. This cynical way of suggesting people have bad motives is soo unpleasant.


    Wanting to make money is not a bad motive.

    People who are in it for the money go in finance rather than classical music.

    Lots of people go into finance and fail. And Law and Medicine and anything else. You make it sound like all you have to do is go into finance and become rich. LOL!

    Bringing money into the equation sullies the argument. People go into conducting primarily because they have a desire to control how music is played. If you haven't the aptitude for it, any good orchestra will sniff it out after 10 minutes. In addition,
    the responsibility for performance levels is high.

    I would suggest going into finance has no similarity to the need to control music performance. Whether one becomes good at finance depends on a whole range of factors, but many do end up making a shed load of money.

    Come on, Ray. You said "many do end up making a shed load of money." What is the purpose of that statement if not suggest finance is an easy or easier road to wealth than some other field? Most would agree finance is more volatile than most fields,
    meaning that the risk of entering it is high. That suggest a larger than average rate of return to entering the field, but a concomitant higher risk of failure. If a career in finance is riskier than opening a restaurant, who can tell?

    Said as Goldman Sachs is about to layoff over 3000 people.

    And ....

    More finance people seem to end up in jail than conductors.

    Obviously, because money is involved - other people's money mostly.

    The fact that "a lot" of people do well in finance is meaningless. >>>>> What percentage of those going into finance succeed compared to
    medicine, law, whatever? I don't know. Do you?

    Come on, Ray. You said "many do end up making a shed load of money."

    Many do. It isn't anything new. As if I really care about these people
    anyway.

    What is the purpose of that statement if not suggest finance is an
    easy or easier road to wealth than some >other field?

    I believe it can be a very easy way. And because finance was already
    mentioned. As you yourself have already said, many end up in jail.
    Good riddance to them. Sure they take risks, but nobody is forcing them. >>

    As I have already said, I don't care one way or the other. But as
    finance was mentioned earlier by you and others I simply used the
    comparison.

    OK, Ray. I've re-read the thread, especially to make sure of my own "contribution," and see that you either fail to see my point or are just digging in your heels as a matter of principle or dislike. Whichever or whatever, never mind. I'm going to have my head examined for even trying
    to communicate with you.

    Frank, Ray is being typically disingenuous. It often seems that the
    principal driver of his views is envy. I hope I'm wrong.

    Bob Harper

    Your hopes are realised. Envious of what? Certainly not the people in the finance industry!! Even their money is tainted.

    For certain conductors, and physicists, and most professionals who are of use to this world and to other people, yes.

    Let me offer my pov regarding this nonsense:

    Shit started going south with Herman's crazy antics:

    - mswd...@gmail.com gives us a reasonable explanation on why he didn't mention female conductors as candidates (hasn't listened to enough recordings of female conductors which is why they didn't come to his mind).

    - Next the ridiculously overeducated Herman appears to share his perceived ingenuity and to teach mswd...@gmail.com how orchestras don't choose conductors based on recordings (it seems that mswd is very well aware of this), but on what they are like to
    work with (it should be noted though, that "what they are like to work with" does not equal to "musical quality" - sometimes maybe recordings give a better idea of musical quality than what some conductor says during rehearsals). Basically Herman was
    belittling mswd and indirectly telling him that his opinion is shit and not worthy of discussion (according to Herman: in a group that is about classical _recordings_, one should not dare judge a conductor based on recordings. Well, then there isn't
    anything left to discuss on this group...).

    - Ofc Herman does (and will) not realize his ignorance in his arrogance and keep on with his antics

    - In response to Dan's opinion that some people turn conductors because of financial reasons (which is a perfectly legitimate opinion), Herman once again goes crazy attacking Dan in a completely irrational way: Never did Dan say any of the things Herman
    was arguing against...

    - Herman, the biggest fake on this ng, seems to believe that one can't fake being a great conductor (well, I have plenty of examples)... humans are generally prone to (subconciously) dupe themselves btw (as with Herman believing that he is ridiculously
    overeducated ;D as if ridiculously overeducated persons would ever say such stupid things lol).

    Goethe described people like Herman the following way: "The Philistine not only ignores all conditions of life which are not his own, but also demands that the rest of mankind should fashion its mode of existence after his own."

    Herman wants everyone to behave in a particular way, a way he deems to be "good": Dan shouldn't post so much, Mswd... should not give his opinion about candidates as conductors based on recordings (only ignorants would do that ;) )...

    and if one doesn't do as Herman says, one is either a pedo, an ignorant or whatever else his deluded mind comes up with ;D

    There is only one person on RMCR who keeps posting vids of very young women who either play and instrument or pretend to do so.
    And then of course there is our German correpsondent who has often mentioned teenage girls and their 'tits', his words not mine.

    No, that would be far too general. Which is why this quote is meaningless. It doesn't tell us anything... one has to define things with care...

    Science also consits of drawing a line somewhere...

    In contrast to the above statement Kant makes clear that Art and Morality share a common denominator, science has a different one...

    But since you are too lazy and stupid to read Kant, I know we can all expect more of your nonsensical posts...

    In this world today people just throw words (such as art, artificial etc) around without ever having thought about them carefully, ridding words of their meaning. Men are even wanting to be perceived as women (same the other way around) leading to
    absolute chaos in prison and sports etc, with women being the victims (this is 21st century feminism). Noone bats an eye when little kids get their breasts amputated in the name of gender ideology, but when jews visit their holiest site, the temple mount,
    the world goes crazy - and ofc, DeSantis and Netanyahu, the worst of them all; not the crazy doctors who amputate the healthy breasts off of children - someone tell me, is this all a joke?

    Staatskapelle Berlin, NY Phil and the CSO- all are looking for new leaders. Now there is nothing stopping orchestras from bring onboard leaders who are overcommitted (Makela), but there are some names out there who are either underemployed or ripe for
    a major position:

    Dudamel - mentioned in the NY Times as the leading choice for New York, this seems like a great match- a conductor who is big on personality, a "name". He's not a favorite of mine for the central rep.
    Thielemann - where is the best place for Christian's sonic sludge? Berlin, of course.
    Honeck - you'd think he's going somewhere bigger, but he hasn't built a fan following here in Chicago the way Zweden did. The one person I know in the orchestra doesn't care for him.
    Zweden - he still seems underemployed to me, and if he ends up in Chicago that won't surprise me at all. To me he's pretty hit-and-miss, but in pieces where he can be direct and less about phrasing and rubato, the results can be very strong. I wouldn't
    mind him here at all.
    Andreas Orozco-Estrada - he seems underemployed at the momen. I've liked him in nearly everything I've heard him do.
    Vlad Jorowski - not sure if he's a fit for any of these openings, but he seems underutilized at the moment

    Who else deserves consideration?

    I forget where I read this recently, but someone has suggested that this search for the ultimate Heldendirigent, descending from the clouds with a star on the end of his or her baton, is now very much an American thing. Elsewhere, they just appoint
    somebody the orchestra gets along with and get on with it. Or conductors start their own orchestras and make recordings ...

    Ray, it would appear that you do not know the true definition of envy.
    It consists only secondarily in the desire for the goods or riches of
    another. Rather, the real fault is sadness over the good fortune of another.

    So right wing and solely materialistic in thought. What else can one expect? No, the real sadness lies in knowing there are far better people who by virtue of mere circumstance have literally nothing, and people in this world who pretend they don't

    Somebody must be receiving the significant share of federal, state and local government expenditures that go to the poor, either directly or indirectly. So the world electorates (at least in developed countries) as a whole don't seem to have forgotten
    the poor.

    At the core of crackpot leftist economics is the wrong-headed idea that the economy is a zero-sum game. It is not the case that the rich got that way at the expense of the poor. Income, wealth and jobs are created by intelligence, creativity and risk-
    taking. Bill Gates and Elon Musk did not pick any pockets to get rich.

    In a similar vein, among many anti-immigration types (legal or illegal) there is the equally wrong-headed idea that an immigrant who gets a job in the U.S. is taking that job away from a U.S. citizen. There is plenty of research that shows that
    immigration is conducive to economic growth.

    you are utterly wrong if you think that's how I look at the world. There
    are, of course, destitute people in the world, and we have a duty to
    have compassion for them and to assist as we can in helping them escape
    that desperate state. How that ought to happen is a matter of prudential decision. And there, as you might expect, I don't think that compulsory redistribution of material goods is likely to be effective--something
    the history of the 20th century should make clear.

    Everyone has self-interest. It's human nature. When that self-interest becomes so severe as to become "greed" is anyone's opinion.

    Nobody is discussing human nature. But as ""supposedly"" intelligent animals, some humans can arrange it so that desperate people can work a full week and more, and are still a long way from being able to survive, as given by all indices of estimations
    of poverty. That is severe by any estimation.

    As for the slant you make of employers providing work for immigrants - don't make me laugh !! More to the point is that employers are cashing in on labour that THEY need.

    It makes no sense to say employers "need" workers any more than workers "need" jobs.

    It is deceitful to say employers "provide" employment. It is truthful to say they need workers. The rest is obvious.

    Cambridge Dictionary has redefined what a "woman" is, because otherwise ofc the trans-identified-males would be "offended" - facts should take precedence over feelings...

    The new definition of a woman according to cambridge: "an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth".

    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/woman

    Even Herman can be a woman today ;D if you "feel" like a woman (whatever the heck people mean when saying this), then you are a woman as per cambridge dictionary, and dare one not offend those insane trans people by telling them they are insane and
    should really reflect on the shit they are doing to themselves and to others.

    The reason why people consider to transition is based on body dysphoria which is sociologically induced, and instead of trying to help these people psychologically, by being subtle and going into depth and to discover the root of why people want to do
    this insane shit (take hormones, which can lead to alzheimer in TIMs etc) and to overcome it, people advocate for superficial but aggressive invasions (cut dick off, cut tits off, take hormones to grow tits etc) - this shit has become the new norm with
    people even changing the definition of a woman to accomodate this insanity...

    Let me ask you another question, since you are bothered with personal attacks (which in a general sense is ofc not wrong, but one should always look at the context):

    Is it okay for you that I am attacking Eddie Izzard personally? Or are you only bothered that I am stating facts about andy? How about "Ellie Kerry" in this ng, "she" is a "he", a trans-identified man, he would have much more reasons to be personally

    Ray, it would appear that you do not know the true definition of envy.
    It consists only secondarily in the desire for the goods or riches of another. Rather, the real fault is sadness over the good fortune of another.
    So right wing and solely materialistic in thought. What else can one expect? No, the real sadness lies in knowing there are far better people who by virtue of mere circumstance have literally nothing, and people in this world who pretend they don't
    exist.

    Ray Hall, Taree

    Ray you simple minded fool... all you do is reiterating the simple anti-capitalist views of the left, without understanding anything.

    And I actually think Bob's characterisation of you as being envious is not too far fetched.

    People like you are not to be reasoned with (similar to Dan wrt to Covid). You complain (unjustly) that Bob's view is materialistic (he only explained what "envy" is to you...), while being completely materialistic yourself, when complaing that some
    people are "poor" ("people who by virtue of mere circumstance have literally nothing"), obviously wanting them to be richer.

    What leftists don't understand is, that capitalism brought us riches and progress. There was never a time in this world where people had it this good (wrt to food, medical care etc - all part of capitalism). Now, this does not mean that capitalism is
    perfect ofc, and the world is still unjust, but it's the system which cares more about "individuality" than any other system.

    Israel understood this, Palestinians don't. Islamic nations hate capitalism, just as the left does - deeming capitalism to be responsible for every bad shit that happens, while not seeing the good capitalism has brought us. All the asian nations which
    followed the western model (Singapur, Japan, Korea) and became capitalist coutnries with a democratic foundation are first world countries now - not so much the islamic countries who deem the west responsible for their misfortune.

    Ray's envy is similar to the envy of the Palestinians wrt to Israel.

    I know that you have a daughter, and honestly, you should feel fucking creeped out that some 50yo men identifying as a woman would be allowed in the same public bathroom or dressing room of swimming pools with her... it's very simple, really.

    Simple yes / no question.
    Are you a parent; do you have any children?
    Simple answer: This does not concern you, and it doesn't matter.

    It does matter. It's just a theoretical, political issue for you to get worked up about.
    Just like no one here writes more often and more vehemently about Jewish issues than you.
    You're not Jewish. It's stuff on the internet for you.
    The frequency with which you write about teenage girls' "tits" is more than a little disturbing.


    I am not concerned about my daughter and the bathroom issue you mention.
    It's a totally ridiculous American hysteria issue.
    I'm more worried about people like you who keep writing about teenage girls' "tits".
    It makes you sound like a dangerous creep who should not be let anywhere near teenagers of any gender.

    Even if a trans person were to use the same bathroom, you may or may not be aware that washing your hands in the same space as a person you do not know is not really the end of the world.
    The thing is - and hence my question to you - do parents give their kids a solid proper grounding in their first ten or twelve years.

    I suspect Andy's right and it's just your day off from the institution, 'cause you're clearly crazy.
    So this is the end of my dialogue with you.

    I understand that this is all off topic etc, but sorry, no - kids are being mutiliated because of gender-ideology, and idiots like andy obsess about trump and the climate, while obviously having no problem with little kids being mutiliated in the name
    of the rainbow-ideology, and if you question said ideology, you will be called a bigot or a fascist ;D the MO of the left.

    What the fuck is wrong with your brain? Of course I despise Trump as an unrepentant liar, cheat and incompetent and of course I'm deeply concerned about the climate like any scientist or half intelligent human is.

    I have nothing whatsoever to do with "rainbow ideology" and I don't even know what it is, and as for "mutilated kids" I have absolutely no idea what part of your fucked up brain that came from. Since your ravings take you wherever your stream of

    And I actually think Bob's characterisation of you as being envious is not too far fetched.

    You can believe what you want, but coming from someone who believes Trump is the bees knees, it is arguable that you would be perfectly able to believe anything. This is aside from your spot characterisations of people you don't know.

    What leftists don't understand is, that capitalism brought us riches and progress. There was never a time > in this world where people had it this good (wrt to food, medical care etc - all part of capitalism).

    As if you can teach me anything. Of course capitalism works, for lefties and wingnuts - it simply represents the gears and machinations by which democratic societies work. But the more successful countries owe their prosperity and happiness to government
    restraint, meaning rules and regulations that ensures everybody gets a fair/reasonable deal, and that excess is curtailed.

    Now, this does not mean that capitalism is perfect ofc, and the world is still unjust, but it's the system
    which cares more about "individuality" than any other system.

    Perfection is a bum word. It means nothing.

    Israel understood this, Palestinians don't. Islamic nations hate capitalism, just as the left does - deeming > capitalism to be responsible for every bad shit that happens, while not seeing the good capitalism has > brought us. All the asian
    nations which followed the western model (Singapur, Japan, Korea) and became > capitalist coutnries with a democratic foundation are first world countries now - not so much the islamic > countries who deem the west responsible for their misfortune.

    More blaa blaa bah !! Have you ever thought about kindergarten teaching? Perhaps not, for the sake of the kids.

    Ray's envy is similar to the envy of the Palestinians wrt to Israel.

    No, it's only simple in your pathetic cranium. And yes, claims that questions of human needs are "very simple" are connected with other behaviors that can be seen as fascistic inasmuch as they demand the people conform. There are indeed conservatives or
    even libertarians (some might be here) who might be interested in assessing how all this intersects with issues of parental rights/responsibilities and what reasonable steps should be made to deal with the fact that gender can be complicated. But when
    your politics is just an "its obvious!" religion that decries the exercise of freedoms, then what's going to be on offer is domination. Face it- the topic actually bores you except for the chance to club some liberal seals.

    I'm 'creeped out' by this guy who clearly has rape and violence fantasies about teenage women.

    The other thing is he keeps intruding on other posters' privacy, but immediately shuts down when asked whether he's talking about this as a father or rather as someone who can't see a teenage woman without the above. His stalking and outing of Cheregi is
    another, worse example.

    Staatskapelle Berlin, NY Phil and the CSO- all are looking for new leaders. Now there is nothing stopping orchestras from bring onboard leaders who are overcommitted (Makela), but there are some names out there who are either underemployed or ripe for
    a major position:

    Dudamel - mentioned in the NY Times as the leading choice for New York, this seems like a great match- a conductor who is big on personality, a "name". He's not a favorite of mine for the central rep.
    Thielemann - where is the best place for Christian's sonic sludge? Berlin, of course.
    Honeck - you'd think he's going somewhere bigger, but he hasn't built a fan following here in Chicago the way Zweden did. The one person I know in the orchestra doesn't care for him.
    Zweden - he still seems underemployed to me, and if he ends up in Chicago that won't surprise me at all. To me he's pretty hit-and-miss, but in pieces where he can be direct and less about phrasing and rubato, the results can be very strong. I wouldn't
    mind him here at all.
    Andreas Orozco-Estrada - he seems underemployed at the momen. I've liked him in nearly everything I've heard him do.
    Vlad Jorowski - not sure if he's a fit for any of these openings, but he seems underutilized at the moment

    Who else deserves consideration?
