SOMETHING must have contributed to this relatively radical decision. Surely, the new guy will make a LOT less $$$ than Salonen, and I didn't see any mention of the contract length. Honestly, I could never see such an appointment taking in place in NY, Chicago or Philly (for whatever that's worth). Salonen himself was quite young when he began. All in all, a daring and exciting decision. Still, the rainbow of conductors out there between the ages of 30 and 50 must be shaking their heads, wondering why they even bothered. 26 means NO TRACK RECORD, no matter how much we rationalize things. It also means "narrow range of repertoire under one's belt", again...necessarily.
