I saw this news earlier too. Although I've never been a conductor myself, I consider this book absolutely essential reading for any would-be musician:
Whether one agrees with Schuller or not, he states clearly and convincingly what ought to be considered in presenting a musical work (whether you're a conductor or not) and how far from the ideal most musicians - even the very famous ones (or, especially the very famous ones!) - fall. It's an eye- and ear-opener for sure.
