Do you think having some conductors turn down the NYP is unusual, whereas the best orchestras normally get their first choice?
'Course who qualifies as a top conductor is likely a question which would elicit widely varying responses from Music posters. There are some conductors on the linked (highlghted)top 10 list that don't seem to be talked about much here.
Turkeys on this UN-highlighted link of NYP conductors?
