In Bordeaux Paul.....Harding is Paul Daniel.
Celibidache was really principal in the early '70 of the "Orchestre National de France" which was then "orchestre de l'ORTF"?
Thank you for this :)
Paul Daniel is indeed the Principal Conductor in Bordeaux. My mistake was in transliteration and I have made the correction.
The Orchestre National de France has indeed gone through a number of changes of name and was, as you correctly point out, the Orchestra of French Radio and Television
(Orchestre National de la RTF from 1949 until 1964 and Orchestre National de l'ORTF from 1964 until 1974). Celibidache was appointed in 1973 as "premier chef invite" and I interpreted that as more akin to "principal guest conductor" rather than "principal conductor".
