John Storgårds

Happy day! After having become principal guest 2012, chief guest 2017, I am still further intensifying my relation with @BBCPhilharmonic - one of the most skilful, brilliant orchestras - now as chief conductor. A relation strongly built on great music making, partnership, trust!

If Russia does not want @kajakallas to be Europe’s negotiator, that is a clear sign she is doing an excellent job defending Europe’s common interests.

Rubio declares that U.S. efforts to negotiate between Russia and Ukraine "has not led to a fruitful outcome for a variety of reasons" and have now "stagnated." ​Really? Maybe they stagnated because the strategy of pressuring the victim to surrender to an aggressor, who would almost certainly murder us under occupation, was stillborn from the start. Perhaps, instead, you could try putting pressure on Russia and arming Ukraine to make this war unbearable for the ones actually choosing to wage it every day?

China wants a trade deal with the EU. Finland just made that impossible — unless China drops Russia. ㅤ Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen was direct: China's ties with Moscow are a deal-breaker for any EU-China free trade agreement. No negotiations can begin without all 27 EU member states on board. Finland is one of them. ㅤ Beijing has been pitching trade and investment deals to European leaders for months. Last month Germany's chancellor called such an agreement potentially achievable. Valtonen just cooled that down significantly. ㅤ China now has to choose: one of the world's largest markets, or continued partnership with a sanctioned, isolated aggressor. ㅤ That's a real economic squeeze — and it came from Helsinki, not Washington. ㅤ

Pieno rispetto a te, Giorgia, e a tutta l’Italia. I propagandisti russi, miserabili, non riusciranno certo a deviare le persone la cui bussola è la difesa degli interessi nazionali del proprio Paese. Grazie a te e a tutti gli italiani per una posizione così chiara. 🇮🇹

A very happy 70th birthday to the conductor ⁦@jpsaraste⁩⁩ Jukka-Pekka Saraste!

🎼 Today, the distinguished Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks celebrates his 80th birthday. He has created deeply emotional music inspired by nature, spirituality, and the human experience. The composer’s works are widely performed far beyond the borders of Latvia, carrying a powerful message of hope, resilience, and harmony. Today we honour his remarkable legacy and lasting contribution to the world of music. ✨ Warmest congratulations! 📷 Jānis Porietis

There are still some good seats available! 🎫 @kirillgerstein #Webern #Busoni #Janáček #Brahms

Congratulations to Peter Magyar and Tisza on their election victory. This is a result of great importance not just for Hungary but for Europe and all of those who believe in liberal democracy.

A tremendous new release. A very good No. 2 - I’m hearing things I’ve never heard before. (Nos. 2 n 3 are his problem symphonies for me. They took the longest to crack.) Also a very good, powerful No. 5!
