Had to be away for a couple of days - didn't realize my post about Edo would generate so many comments! I agree that he was the one who really raised the standards of that ensemble. However, comparing it to today's SFSO under MTT is a different animal altogether - a VERY large percentage of the orchestra turned over between those two music directors. It is almost a completely different set of musicians between the end of Edo's tenure and the current group. So you can't really make a comparison between how those two worked with the same set of musicians, because they really didn't.
