What profound thoughts and insight from Marek Janowski. An excellent and most interesting interview. Thank you for posting it.

Bitte machen Sie mehr Aufnahmen mit Marek Janowski!!!!!!!

This is gospel to my ears, I couldn't agree more, bravo Maestro !

Janowski, by far the best living German conductor.

How gratifying to hear him praising Kna... and also saying a good many wise and pertinent things.

is SACD edition in PENTATONE

What a superb interviewer, and an absolutely fascinating, open, and humane conductor!

Curious to know how he will deal with the Castorf production when he comes to Bayreuth in 2016!

I like his remarks on the avant-garde of opera. I wonder what his take on the Met's most recent cycle would be...

Interesting

Yes he is perfectly clear on the subject. But I don't think we should classify the Met 2012 production of the Ring as an avant garde production.The Bastille, the actual Bayreuth or the justifygly production of the Wagner Tahnauser production in Germany with gaz chambers and so on, which had to be stopped due to the protests of the public are avant garde provocations productions just for the sake of shocking and without the single justification to accept them.He is a very sensible guy!
