‘Definition of an orchestra: a a nation of
the unlikely and the insufferable attempting the
impossible. Ninety-odd musicians (some of them
very odd indeed) carrying their pasts on their backs.
Beethoven. Sibelius. Brahms. Auditions
rejections. Performance nerves and intensely
public failures.
Everyone alive is a victim oj his past, and we all
deal with what we can only partly understand.
But musicians carry more baggage than most, and
sometimes it feels as if the musk itself is haunted.
There was nothing in the beginning to suggest
that it would turn out to be the pivotal year
in Royal Sinfonia history.
Not until the Greek tour where the conductor’serotic obsessions became too obvious to
be ignored. Not until the principal hornbegan to lose his nerve — and the orchestra’s
own struggle for survival precipitated the
final twist in the love affair between William
and Isabel.
The first real clue was when the mysteriously
enticing Janice appeared, altering some things
— and some people — forever.
