Vladimir "Dressed By Ermenegildo Zegna" Jurowski, Daniel "Interestingly, Mozart Was A Manchester United Fan, Too" Harding, Gustavo "Behold My Sweet, Sweet Afro" Dudamel, and Tomas "I can go sloooooooooooooower than Celibidache If You Really Insist, And Even If You Don't" Netopil have a colleague in the almost-underage conductor club: Tugan "I say I'm 29, I look 19, I'm actually 9" Sokhiev.
He has just conducted Philharmonia at Queen Elizabeth Hall, in Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite and Tchaikovsky's Fourth.
The Independent loved it; The Guardian wrote that it suXored. When in doubt, Opera Chic has a rule: she sticks to her Temirkanov cd.
(Now, was "Uncle Solly" -- back when he was 9 years old -- as good as Sokhiev is now? He probably wasn't. WhatevS. But we bet that he already looked 70)
