Four years ago Robin Ticciati had a big gig on his hands. He was making his debut as principal conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Glasgow to a packed house. On the platform with him as he took his opening bow was the Czech mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená, or the current Lady Rattle. And then came a small disaster.
“I forgot my baton! In the first concert. Just before the songs with Magdalena . . .” The memory hits Ticciati slowly, almost as if it took place four decades ago rather than four years.
