I've always felt that Edo de Waart was greatly underappreciated during his time in SF. The orchestra's playing improved to world-class levels under his leadership, easily paving the way for Blomstedt to take over. I fondly remember attending many wonderful concerts that he conducted, including an electrifying Rachmaninoff 2nd that will always stick in my memory. The few Philips recordings he made with the SFS were all great, including that Mahler 4th (sadly never released on CD, though it is--or was--available as a lossless download), an all-Respighi disc, Grieg Peer Gynt excerpts, Wagner's Symphony in C and a couple of overtures, Ravel's Sheherazade (with Elly Ameling), the Rachmaninoff piano concertos (with Zoltan Kocsis), and a disc of Adams and Reich works. And let's not forget the pioneering discs he made of John Adams' music for Nonesuch and ECM.
