Welcome to Vienna, Marin Alsop!

Latest on Forbes:

Marin Alsop Appointed New Music Director Of ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra

Veteran conductor Marin Alsop has been named the new music director of the Austrian Broadcasting Company’s Radio Symphony Orchestra in Vienna (ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, or Vienna RSO; also referred to as the ORF Symphony Orchestra) starting with the 2019/20 season[1]. The Vienna RSO is one of four professional symphony orchestras in the greater Vienna region and vies with the Lower Austrian Tonkünstler Orchestra for that fourth spot – with the Vienna Philharmonic and Vienna Symphony locked in first and second place, respectively.

A Difficult Search

The orchestra had been looking for a new candidate for a good while and the search for a successor to Cornelius Meister, who is leaving after this season, cannot have been easy. (Hence the interim year without a chief conductor.) The job isn’t so prestigious that an established conductor with a humming international career is prone to take it. But it also takes a good deal for a conductor to hold his own in Vienna; to have a pronounced enough profile that gets noticed despite the orchestral big-boys vying for medial attention...

...

A Blue Fingerprint

What does this appointment mean for Women-conductors: Not that much, probably; not nearly as much as it does for journalists who love writing about that issue. Still, there is the symbolic value that an orchestra in Vienna, a town with, as the Guardian put it, a notoriously “fusty attitude towards women” in the music world, is now led by a woman. But Maestra Alsop – and in this may lie the most positive aspect for women-conductors if isn’t ruined by vapid journalistic coverage that reduces it solely to this issue – wasn’t appointed because she is a woman. (Which is presumably the only way a woman conductor would want to be appointed.) Her gender had nothing to do with it, except for the afterthought that it might serve as a nice angle to sell the story to editors who would not otherwise report about the Vienna RSO.

What will have had something to do with it, however, was Marin Alsop’s relation with the largest classical record label and all-around industry behemoth – Naxos Records. Marin Alsop has been with Naxos for many years; she was probably the first truly renowned conductor to record exclusively for Naxos – and also the first conductor whose career was notably helped by the Naxos exposure. (Previously, artists may have thought it the reputational touch-of-death to appear for the cheapo-Naxos label.) Their relation was symbiotic, successful, and prolific – and remains so.

Naxos is certainly keen on an orchestral presence with a quality orchestra in the continental European market – especially the hometown of classical music (if you will), Vienna...

Mariss Jansons becomes an Honorary Member of the Berlin Philharmonic

Photo courtesy Berlin Philharmonic, © Stephan Rabold

They didn't make him their new Chief Conductor when they voted two years ago, but how they've made him an honorary member: As per the PR office of the Berlin Philharmonic, the Berliner Philharmoniker welcomed Mariss Jansons as an honorary member of the orchestra earlier today, before their rehearsal for the concerts with Schumann's Piano Concerto (with Daniil Trifonov, who looks ever more like Jan Böhmermann) and Bruckner's Sixth Symphony (Jan. 25th through the 27th), and thus "expressing their gratitude for a long association". (See also The Berlin Philharmonic's Next Conductor: The Odds And Ends and Kirill Petrenko Is The New Chief Conductor Of The Berlin Philharmonic)

In this he joins fellow conductors Daniel Barenboim, Bernard Haitink, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Seiji Ozawa.

This statement from orchestra board member Knut Weber came with it:

For many years the Berliner Philharmoniker and the public have again and again experienced fascinating concerts with and thanks to you. Dear Mariss Jansons, it is a great pleasure for us all to have you with us this week. It is our heartfelt wish to thank you by conferring honorary membership in our orchestra on you. Thank you for many years of unique musical cooperation, for unforgettable concerts – in short, for your wonderful friendship.

On Forbes: Oh Danny, What Have You Done Now?

Picture of Daniel Hope © Nicolas Zonvi

Over on Forbes.com, I have published a bit of background information on the controversy regarding Daniel Hope's very successful attempt at suppressing a YouTube 'shred' that included him... and how he went just a little beyond that, for good measure. Bit of an ugly tale that composer-pianist-writer Moritz Eggert brought to the fore with his superb open letter to Mr. Hope. (Provided in full, translated, in the Forbes article.)

Trouble In Berlin: Whatever You Do, Don't Make A Shred Video Of Superstar Violinist Daniel Hope

"Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel? Well, Daniel Hope would, or so it seems from this open letter to the violinist, written by composer-pianist-writer Moritz Eggert in response to a spat over a YouTube "shred" that had appeared with Hope as one of the main subjects."
