Premiere ends on sour note as conductor refuses to play Premiere ends on sour note as conductor refuses to play-Arts & Entertainment-Music-TimesOnline
I have my Mother to thank for this article, she wondered what I thought about this - a conductor refusing to perform a premiere because he "did not believe in it.
My thoughts are that it is nice to see a conductor with enough musical principles to say "no" to a piece that they don't feel is up to standard.
