"Now, just because Vonk hasn't done much in the US doesn't mean that he's an

know where these conductors were at or what they were doing before they landed
major American gigs: Swallisch, von Dohnanyi, Byschkov, Blomstedt, <etc>...?
Most of them worked exclusively in Europe--that's where!"

Yes, Larry, that's fine. I'm quite well-versed in the backgrounds of all major
conductors, past and present, European, Hungarian, American, etc., thank you
very much. Apparently there still exists a small lacuna or two in my body of
knowledge. AS for Blomstedt, I LIVE in San Francisco, you'll remember. He's
on his way out, but I think I know where we found him. I suppose you'll ask me
about Tilson Thomas next...
