Unicorns fart glitter.
Ah, Alan- beat me to it. He's come a long way since his London days. What is it with young conductors who want to pull the wings off the piece? Jordan is another I'm afraid. I think FWM and the Cleveland are very good. Sounding a little sedate and refined tonight, purring along like a Daimler.

Took me a while to work out the rhyme.... Kent Nagano?
Haven't heard his Brahms 1 but his no. 4 with Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin is quite good IMO.

Still throwing Eephus pitches
It's not as good as "worse-than-most" but both make me titter.
To be honest, the last time I saw KN was in Berlin in 2004 and I fell asleep (In Beethoven 5). I enjoyed a Mahler 9 of his at the Barbican many years ago, and his Mahler 3 on Teldec was excellent (Or was it Erato?).
Not sure if I've ever had the pleasure of seeing FWM --- I think I might have seen a Beethoven/Bruckner 1 pairing at the RFH many years ago, but my memory isn't accurate any more when it comes to concerts seen, aside from those really great ones though.
