Posted by David Lee on March 19, 2006, 9:35 pm, in reply to "Re: Greatest Conductor" As for other conductors many are so boring and full of themselves that they will never leave an enduring legacy. Among these are Tilson Thomas, Vanska, Mehta bores in alot of stuff, Marin Alsop is quite uniteresting...so the list goes on and on. IN fact I suspect classical music is dying a quick death. Furtwanger and Klemper were very different from the modern generation and were the last of rugged individualists. Now it seems conductors copy a recording they have learned from and pass it off as something original!
198.164.98.92
I really think there are some great holes in the catalogue of recordings to do justice to the discussion of who is the greatest. Certainly I rate Bernstein fine in Mahler but lousy in alot of classical and early romantic works.
