In the Lucerne KKL Luzern was opened on this weekend, the Piano Festival, Beethoven’s concerts and the soloists Rudolf Buchbinder – but behind the Scenes there are unpleasant sounds. Dominik Deuber, the head of the Festival Academy, accusing the intendant Michael Haefliger bullying. In October, the “NZZ am Sonntag writes,” had turned Deuber to the Board of Trustees, because Haefliger “‘ve clipped its powers in an improper manner”.
Haefliger itself does not comment on the allegations. And when Lucerne Festival it is only the Board of Trustees will leave the accusations of “independent” test. Last year the Festival was in the headlines, as Matthias Pintscher of one day, resigned to the other as the Principal Conductor of the Academy – “personal reasons”. (suk)
