Originally posted by Bryn View PostIndeed, reflecting the period DG was most closely involved with the BSO. I appreciate that Ozawa is not everybody's favourite conductor.

Originally posted by HighlandDougie View PostActually it's 28, according to the list on the jpc.de website. And not everything he recorded is duff, although I freely admit that the thought of him conducting Brahms doesn't make my heart race.
Ihave a number of Ozaw'a recordings and it was not my intention to deprecate him, merely to bemoan the fact that the slice of the action allocated to him was rather large although it does of course reflect the length of his tenure at Boston.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostPerhaps he was mistaking the number of works conducted by Ozawa with the number of discs. I made it 29 discs on the jpc.de site, by the way, rather than 28.

Originally posted by HighlandDougie View PostOops, I forgot about 2xcd sets - and split discs - so I might revise the earlier 28 to 31. Whatever, DG clearly reckoned that Ozawa was a saleable commodity, particularly in the all-important Japanese market (and, having seen the Ozawa section in Tower Records Shibuya, you gotta believe it), hence the plethora of recordings. I bracket him mentally with Charles Dutoit and Zubin Mehta - fine if you happen to catch them in concert but would you want to buy the record? Anyway, I’ve succumbed to the box set as there is a lot of other stuff I’d like to have.
