Every insufferable conductor is insufferable in his own way

I’m a fan of the Bass Blog.  And I very much enjoyed this recent post. The blog is listed on the Conductorsblog Blog roll to the right of the page.  The writer is a Bass player in the [REDACTED] Symphony Orchestra, and provides a fantastic first-person source  of information on the business of being an orchestral musician.

He comments semi-regularly on the conductors that cross his path. Some by name, but many not so much.

Since the writer is someone who is  working in a world-class symphony orchestra, it would be worth your time to catch up on his previous posts to his blog, so give yourself an hour or more and read through it.
