It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Runnicles

Possibly one of the best conductors nobody ever heard of. He was conductor of the San Francisco Opera orchestra when I lived out there. Is he still making appearances there?

He was conductor of the Orchestra of St. Luke's for some years, including some of my years living in NYC. And he was the primary conductor of the Atlanta Symphony when I lived in Georgia.

So I've seen him quite a lot.

He's been the conductor of the BBC Scottish for some years, and one of the Berlin Opera orchestras as well.

He's not eccentric enough, volatile enough, or controversial enough to ever be considered among the "great" conductors. But he is reliably steady on the podium and has enough insights into the music he conducts to make most of his concerts worth attending.
