Fassbaender made the switch in 1995, and since then has held Intendant positions at Brunswick and Innsbruck.

Gubaidulina was one of the leading Russian composers of her generation, pioneering Modernist techniques and religious themes at a time when both were repressed by the Soviet authorities.

    In 1990, Alfred Schnittke and his wife, Irina, settled in Hamburg, the city remaining the composer's home until his death in 1998. The years that followed were the most productive of the composer's life. He was already at the peak of his fame and attracted many commissions for large-scale works. He was remarkably industrious despite serious health problems, suffering strokes in 1985, 1991 and 1994, the last paralysing the right side of his body.

I'm much enjoying the second season of #Silo, but it must be the most right-wing programme in the entire history of television. I dread to think what it is doing to the fabric of American society just now.
