Maazel conducted the first symphonic concert I ever attended live - early in 71 with the SFS, Beethoven's Consecration of the House, Sibelius 5th symphony, Ravel's La Valse, and Bartok's Two Pictures for Orchestra. Later, while he was Music Director in Vienna, I attended a ballet evening at the Staatsoper where he conducted Daphnis & Chloe and Firebird - a wonderful evening. I agree with jdaniels that there aren't that many top list recording by him - I don't think he lived up to his early promise. Culshaw, for example, described him as a brilliant young conductor in his autobiography. Still - a shock.
