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

British homerism



The British homerism is just too obvious on that list. More than 1/4 of the greatest conductors of all time are all from one tiny country? Who else would put on their own list Rattle, Gardiner, Davis, Beecham, Barbirolli and MacKerras (an Aussie who conducted several British orchestras and last night at the Proms)?

Your list of notable omissions highlights the absence of Russians. In addition to the names you mention as contenders -- Kubelik, Bohm, Jansons, Chailly, Klemperer, Jarvi, Mitropoulos, Jochum ......
