My favorite orchestral/symphony conductor would be Loren Maazel (spelling?)
Oh. Good choice! Gergiev is young, too, isn't he?! I think I saw him conducting the other day on tv and thoroughly enjoyed it. And, yes - Stokowski's conducting was amazing - you can hear it on recordings.
lol Gergiev is not young at all
Lorin Maazel...spelling is incorrect. Quite famous, apparently:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorin_MaazelG.W.K
