Re: Cleveland orchestra principal or did we miss something

I think it is time to get this problem out in the open. Is the artistic director looking for the Cleveland to change their instrument over to German system or is the problem much more rooted in the way the group is being managed. I have heard Mr. Lulich play and he is a truly great player...a perfectionist and at the same time very flexible in all working situations. This musical chair stuff and then hiring after trying ..well if it was beer in store we got for free then we would be drunk.

No..something is vastly wrong with the way orchestras are being managed and how the resources on management side of things stack this game so to speak. Imagine in North America...a place where there are thousands of great players and then cherry picking the job. A blind audition done in 3 days used to be good enough..or is an image thing. Ie. Mr. J has a weight issue or maybe has a beard and does not appear corporate enough. This is part of the make up of marketing as well that goes into this..

I am also sure having played principal clarinet in an orchestra for years that one cannot go very long without being on some side so to speak. As player I did collective bargaining on behalf of the players ...so you imagine just how much management liked me after awhile.

I just don't understand...Welser Most is there to get the Most out of what he has!
