Christoph von Dohnanyi

I just listened to von Dohnanyi's Cleveland recording of Bruckner's 5th symphony.

He is one of a group of conductors--others include Herbert Blomstedt, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Michael Gielen, and the now-deceased Gunter Wand--who give me a lot of inspiration. Pushing 90 years old, they are at the height of their knowledge, wisdom, musical passion, and communicative power. They give me hope that I still have time to accomplish something in the years left to me.
