Oops, von Dohnányi is missing; I would have chosen him over, say, Gunter Wand

We're having a lively conversation at the AN (Myle's) site on this subject. Never got to hear Wand, but have heard Dohnanyi several times, always with the Philharmonia in London and not his Cleveland Orch. Larry

How come Ivan Fischer isn't on the list?

I'm missing Ansermet and I think that if his life had not been so short, Ataulfo Argenta would have been one of the greats.
