I didn't realize he was tight with Putin. That does negatively influence me, but not enough to pretend that concert I attended wasn't memorable. Actually, I was more impressed by the orchestra than him - the woodwind players' *sounds* knocked me out among other things.
Haven't heard him conduct anything other than Russian music.
