Conductors from #Finland now have complete control of the BBC's orchestras in England. How did a country with Yorkshire's population manage it? Can it last? And what is Norway doing to steal a march on its neighbour? I asked around for @TeleClassical telegraph.co.uk/music/classi…

‘Orchestras are tired of tantrums’: how a new wave of Nordic maestros are detoxifying music

The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is not in a frame. It's painted on the wall of a dining room for monks in Milan. And right above it Leonardo painted the coat of arms of the man who paid him to do it...
