It is big news: top conductor Jaap van Sweden is accused of cross -border behavior. Is André Rieu the next? Will there be an offended employee against him later?
There are now few Dutch celebrities who have no scandal on their pants. Now top conductor Jaap van Sweden is also under fire. Several musicians who have worked with him say that he has been guilty of cross -border behavior for a long time. “He shouts at you like you’re a child of four,” it sounds. “”Everyone is scared.“”
High tree
Well, that’s not all good, but who is still surprised about it? “It doesn’t stop, not automatically. Another Dutchman is accused of cross-border behavior,” notes Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden in the podcast Strictly private.
Private boss Evert Santegoeds: “Yes, Jaap van Sweden. There was actually waiting for it. If you are such a high tree, then you catch a lot of wind and Jaap is a high tree. It is unimaginable what it has achieved in his life and also unimaginable how few Dutch media in general do it.”
Not nice
Evert finds it strange that Jaap only gets attention if there is something negative. “If he has been a chief of the conductor of The with in New York for many years and says goodbye there, then you are really in the footsteps of Leonard Bernstein Enzo. The entire room is full of prominents and people who wear you on your hands …”
He continues: “Yes, there is always an orchestra member that says,” Yes, but he’s not that nice. ” That is in a documentary by Pointer and then Jaap can say that he did not mean it that way, I think.
Delicate souls
Jordi does not understand Evert’s message. “Are you talking well with that?”
Evert: “Well, I don’t know how tar those souls are that make a point of this again, but it is generally that something happens and is said in the heat of battle. If you then drink a good glass of wine it should be good again. I don’t know how serious this pattern is.”
“That will have to be apparent this week, but I am willing to forgive Jaap a little more than someone else.”
André Rieu
The most famous Dutch celebrity in this genre is not yet infected. “The wait is also for André Rieu,” says Evert.
Jordi: “Could it be?”
Evert: “Yes, Joh. I don’t know.”
Jordi: “Yes, I say,” No dude, “but you just don’t know anymore.”
Evert: “Everyone’s turn at some point. With us it is not the scout, so I can also put my hand in my own bosom in that regard.”
“Are you scared?”
Huh? Is Evert also screaming about the editors? “Have you been afraid of it in these times when stories come out?”, Says Jordi.
Evert: “No, not really, but what I say: it’s not the scout. It is just the heat of battle and you want to deliver a top performance, because the expectations are high. Then something is sometimes said. In the past that was normal and now far from.”
He concludes: “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Jaap is a greatness and that may afford a little more for me. “
