at the very least....Mehta, Guilini, Previn and Salonen....Of course in IMHO LA missed the boat when Ms. Chandler passed on Solti in the 60's...I guess one could say he had the last laugh in the end with Chicago...Personally, I would have liked to have seen someone with a repertoire take the baton in LA...a Mariss Jansons or David Zinman come to mind. Even a conductor who has had some critical success like Ivan Fischer might have been an interesting choice....I suppose the LA Phil. still needs to pay for Disney Hall instead of world-class conductor salaries...
