	Bach Cantatas Website - Introduction
		The list of cantatas to be discussed is suggested about every 10 weeks by one of the members of the list.
		You can see the list of cantatas, which have already been discussed, as well as the list of the cantatas, which are planned to be discussed in the forthcoming weeks, in the Order of Discussion page.
		It was agreed between the members of the list that the cantatas would be discussed more or less according to their relation to the Lutheran Church Year.

	Conducting
		A conductor resident with an orchestra (as opposed to a guest conductor) who has involvement with the policies of an orchestra or opera company is sometimes known as a musical director, or nowadays by the German word Kapellmeister.
		In opera performances there were sometimes two conductors - one at the keyboard in charge of the singers, and the principal violinist in charge of the orchestra.
		Wagner was largely responsible for shaping the conductor's role as somebody who imposes his own view of a piece onto the performance rather than somebody who is simply responsible for ensuring entires are made at the right time and that there is a unified beat.

	Orchestra
		In modern times, the musicians are usually directed by a conductor, although early orchestras did not have one, using instead the principal violinist or the harpsichordist playing the continuo for this role.
		In the 1830s conductor François Antoine Habeneck, in order to perform the symphonies of Beethoven, which had not been heard in their entirety in Paris, began rehearsing a selected group of musicians.
		This was paralleled by a rapid standardization of instruments, the invention of the piston or valve by Stolzel and Blilmel, both Silesians, in 1815, was the first in a series of innovations, including the use of valves for the flute by Theobald Boehm and the innovations of Adolphe Sax in the woodwinds.

	Orchestra
		Nowadays, the musicians are usually directed by a conductor, although early orchestras did not have one, using instead the principal violinist or the harpsichordist playing the continuo for this role.
		Some modern orchestras also do without conductors, particularly smaller orchestras and those specialising in historically accurate performances of baroque music and earlier.

	CURRENTLY AVAILABLE COMPACT DISCS OF SELECTED HISTORIC CONDUCTORS
		My compilations are not necessarily designed to be all-inclusive, but rather to list the majority of currently available CDs, in the hope that those who consult them will use the information to seek out and enjoy some of the most striking music-making ever committed to any form of recording.
		Lists promoting the work of four conductors are offered at present: Sir Thomas Beecham (below), Sir Eugène Goossens, Willem Mengelberg and Paul Paray, although other worthy maestros should be added as time passes.
		Generally, within categories I list stereo recordings first, because they are most likely to be in stock and be most acceptable to the broad record-buying public; some people insist on hearing only stereo sound.

	Classical Notes - EMI's Great Conductors of the 20th Century, Classical Classics, Peter Gutmann
		In the accompanying notes, Alan Sanders makes an interesting observation – that while most conductors use a series of concerts to refine their thinking and prepare for a recording, Klemperer tended to record a work first and only then perform it, thus implying that for him the concert was the more important event.
		Pianist and conductor were soul-mates, sharing a restrained energy, structural sense and overall naturalness of expression, all carried forward with irresistible drive and focus.
		Cluytens was known as a solid opera conductor (evidenced by the Mussorgsky excerpt here) and a reliable accompanist (where reticence is a virtue), but this collection does little to suggest that he's been slighted.

		However, in the case of conductors like George Szell, who was one of the most celebrated maestros of his time and who recorded extensively for several labels, these compilations serve as interesting "dessert platters" for collectors who already own the basic, and in Szell's case, often benchmark recordings of the basic repertoire.

	40 greatest conductors of the 20th century
		Argenta has done too little to impress, and although Kletzki was an excellent conductor (with a superb Beethoven cycle with the Czech Philharmonic, among other things, to his credit), his impact on the musical world was not great, and in any case he failed to dislodge anybody on my top 40 list.
		Kirill Kondrashin was one of the two great Russian conductors of the past century, and the first conductor ever to record all Shostakovich's symphonies; his reputation would have been enhanced even further had he not died before taking over Kubelik's old orchestra, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
		His Beethoven was indeed too heavy, but if you want to see a famous conductor screwing up (for a large period of his life too), look at Toscanini first.
