Simon Rattle - British Conductor

[Nellies left peg]

Name me a better conductor from these Isles. I’ll wait.

Huge loss to the London Symphony Orchestra

Sir Simon Rattle will leave the LSO for Munich

The musician's departure is considered a blow for Britain's classical music scene.

A few years ago I went to see him and the Berliner Phil in London perform Mahler 2 the Resurrection symphony with two full choirs.
It was spellbinding and despite its length the evening flew by.
It’s a terrible indictment of London that the promise they made to Rattle to build a new concert hall has been thwarted by incompetence and delay that has nothing to do with covid. We will never see him back here now he has applied for German citizenship.
