Heading off in a new direction

WE have much to learn about Peter Oundjian, music director-designate of the RSNO, who will take up his new post at the end of next season in succession to Stephane Deneve.

I have a strong instinct that the vast majority of the near-capacity audiences he attracted in Scotland last week will agree, following the superb performance and interpretation of Brahms’s Third Symphony he drew from the orchestra, that in this repertoire at least, the RSNO is passing into confident, and decisive hands.
