I recently read on the English Concert's website that director/violinist Andrew Manze will be leaving in 2007 to pursue work in Sweden, including conducting. This is an interesting twist, as Manze just took over the ensemble in mid-2003 and seems to be doing an admirable job, after directing the rival AAM in London.
I love music.
I write about the music I like and have purchased for the benefit of better understanding it and sharing my preferences with others.
