In Reply to: Funny! I kind of agree - I've never been a big fan of Dutoit, although my wife's an admirer posted by Chris from Lafayette on July 15, 2016 at 11:34:50:
In that I admire Dutoit as a conductor. I have now seen him with the SFS some 8 times, leading a wide variety of works (including the Planets, but also works like Shostakovich's 10 symphony, the Strauss Don Quixote, Berlioz Harold in Italy and the Damnation of Faust) and except for once when I felt the orchestra let him down badly (very poor Firebird Suite), that all of the concerts have been superb. I look forward to his annual visits to San Francisco.
