I don’t know what I did to please the gods but on one October morning in 2020, somehow, I took a perfect screenshot of John conducting, while watching the (UK time) 7:30pm performance of the Royal Academy of Music (Finzi, Strauss). “Metamorphosen” is from his new album on Chandos.
No kidding, I get a thrill when John gives his orchestra that “I mean business” look. Above: John conducting the Sinfonia of London in Strauss’s “Metamorphosen” (Chandos, 2022).
