RIP Seiji Ozawa
quote:
Seiji Ozawa, the conductor who led the Boston Symphony Orchestra longer than any other music director, has died at age 88.

The conductor died Feb. 6 in Tokyo due to heart failure, according to a spokesperson for the Seiji Ozawa International Academy Switzerland.

Have a favorite DVD of Ozawa conducting Rhapsody in Blue in a park in Berlin.
There are three jazz musicians with them, including a Marsalis and a solo bit of a woman "getting down" with a baritone sax.

One of the first records (yeah, I'm old) I ever bought was Ozawa conducting the BSO - Bernstein's Symphonic from West Side Story (DGG).

I thought he was *so cool*. I had a crush on him. Up until that time the conductors of major orchestras that I saw on TV were all old geezers. He was also an incredible conductor.
