Simon Rattle/ Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
Philharmonie im Gasteig, 20th July 2020
Simon Rattle’s passport has seen more action of late than my Oyster Card! Since his last encounter with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in June (played to an empty hall), Rattle has been busy. As well as conducting the Czech Philharmonic in a packed Rudolfinum, he and his wife, Magdalena Kožená, gave a lovely recital in Aix-en-Provence. Quarantine rules meant he wasn’t able to return to the UK to conduct his beloved London Symphony Orchestra play their first post-lockdown concert (also part of Festival d’Aix) but he’s now back in Munich… this time with a scattered audience in attendance.
