In February, I was in Cincinnati to visit friends, and heard Măcelaru in Lutosławski's Cello Concerto (with Kian Soltani) and the Shostakovich Symphony No. 11. At least based on that concert, the orchestra and its fans are in for a great few years.

Thanks for the link: it does not mention the Grammy Award for Maestro Macelaru because of this recording:

I am hoping that The Cincinnati Symphony - whoever is in charge of the coming year, before Macelaru takes over for 2025-2026 - will schedule some Bruckner works for 2024-2025.
