I'm beginning to think this thread should be renamed to "What Would Kent Nogano Own If He Had A Stereo?":)
Actually, it's pretty weird for a conductor to not have a stereo, and I don't believe for one minute that he doesn't. How would he be able to listen to other recordings of works that he's studying? (I can see it now, he goes around telling people that he's really not familiar with the recorded works of Levine, Barenboim, Ozawa, et al, because he doesn't have a stereo. lol) Whether it's in his house or at some other location, he's got to have a way to listen to recordings.
Anyway, maybe Nogano wasn't a good example. How about Thomas, or Zweden, or, or ...? Surely, there's got to be some conductor that owns a freakin' stereo!
