Nowhere, they cannot really be spoken of in the same sentence. And Maazel isn't to be spoken in the same sentence as Haitink, Masur, and Ozawa. Ozawa is the most interesting of them as a musical mind, albeit very erratic. I've heard some horrendous Bach from him but also some distinguished Mahler, Messiaen, and Takemitsu. And his Sibelius/Tchaikovsky disc with Mullova must be one of the most successful ones out there (not least thanks to Mullova, of course, who is such a good champion of even this kind of material). Mehta and Masur I only know from their New York days so I'm not really able to say much that hasn't been said many times before.

But in the earlier context one should have absolutely mentioned also the late great Oleg Kagan, who is barely remembered today. What a musician. And maybe Natalia Gutman, who so very thankfully just released a recording of Schumann cello concerto with Abbado.

And Boulez would deserve a separate treatment altogether.

But maybe you would differ.
