Shunned Currentzis starts own label

Shunned Currentzis starts own label

The Russian-based Greek conductor has been fading from sight since Putin invaded Ukraine. Although Salzburg and Baden-Baden maintain his residencies despite his dependence on Russian funds, Currentzis, 52, has struggled to maintain profile and his recording work on Sony seems to have run dry.

So he has done a deal with the Belgian conglomerate Out here to start his own label next year. It will be called Theta, after the Greek letter that resembles an egg with a black spot in the middle. So apt.
