So Stravinsky wasn't big on the Saxophone? Too bad! :-)
"Why didn't Stravinsky include the saxophone in the "Ragtime" section of his 'L'Histoire du Soldat'?" Stravinsky's alleged response when fellow composer Ingolf Dahl told him in 1949 that he was writing a saxophone concerto seems to bear this out: "Oh, that's nice. But the saxophone has always reminded me of a slimy, pink worm."

But would be interesting to hear your take on what make a 'great' conductor vs. a merely 'good' one.
Always assumed it had something to do with rapport and ability to communicate with the members of the orchestra, but WTF do I know?
Why do I like Herbert Blomstedt as a guest conductor far more than when he was actually here all the time?
Perhaps the SFS is a better orchestra now? Blomstedt a better conductor?
Familiarity breeds contempt?
